    306 Relapses. During treatment. In eight of the forty-seven cases, owing to the severity of the relapses and the grave clinical condition of the patients, it was found impossible to continue the treatment for the full period of eight weeks, e.g. in Case 962 treatment had to be changed in the seventh week, in Cases 963 (vzde Chart) and 964 in the fifth week, in Cases 965 (vide Chart) and 966 in the third week, and in Cases 967 to 969 in the second week. Consequently the number of cases under treatment was in the first week 47, and in the eighth week 39 (Table XI). The average weekly number, over a period of eight weeks, of cases which had (1) parasitic febrile relapses was I5°I per cent. of cases treated, (2) non-parasitic febrile attacks 10’9 per cent., and (3) febrile paroxysms (both parasitic and non-parasitic) 20°0 per cent.
