![OBSERVATIONS ON THE EPIDEMIC CATARRHAL FEVER, OR INFLUENZA. The year 1762 was remarkable for a Catarrhal Fever, of which we have an elegant description by Sir George Baker. A similar epidemic- pre- vailed in 1775, and is described in the 6th Volume of the Medical Observations and Inquiries; and respecting that which was so general in 1782, the fullest information is to be found in the ] st Volume of the Medical Communications, in the 9th Volume of Dr. Duncan's Medical Commen- taries, and in the 3d Volume of Dr. Simmons's Medical Journal.* * Also in a separate tract, by Dr. Falconer, of Bath. We purposely avoid multiplying references j otherwise a long catalogue of foreign and domestic writers on this subject might easily be drawn out.
