Author Description

Excerpt from St. Thomas's Hospital Reports, 1836, Vol. 7 Tae symptoms are varied but characteristic, and enable us to arrange the mass of the cases under three chief headings, acute, subacute, and chronic, but it must be understood that no defined line can be drawn between these, as both the acute and chronic conditions commence with subacute symptoms, and many intermediate forms are met with. In the present description the phenomena of the disease Will be first enumerated, and afterwards an example of each of the three forms selected from the cases under treatment at the naval hospital of Yedo during the past year will be given in detail.
