    discharges had a very striking resemblance to those at present observed in typhoid fever. Like the latter, too, it went on to recovery, without that change as to consis- tence and color, which we then considered essential to convalesence. This fever bore a considerable resemblance to that of ]827-8 above mentioned. Dr. Gano, too, who has been practicing here upwards of twenty years, thinks that for a long time, he has seen this fever. He describes an eruption as having appeared upon the neck and face, and occasionally upon the arms and body, which corresponds with the rose colored lenticular spots of typhoid fever.
