    remarks by Dr. Frenzel, who has published in 11ufeland's Journal* an able description of the disease as it occurred in the Military Hospital of Dresden; and an interesting delineation of it by Dr. Killiches, as observed at the town of Brux, in Bohemia ;f as also an excellent account of the morbid anatomy of this affection, from the Fredericstadt Infirmary, by Dr. Stannius, of Berlin,]; and an elaborate paper, upon this form of fever, by the regimental surgeon Grossheim, as it appeared in the summer of 1835, in the Imperial Grenadier Guards.§ These, and other valuable contributions which have recently been published, afford an ample confirmation of the re- sults obtained by the French pathologists, relative to the frequent association of abdominal ulceration with the typhoid condition in fever. Before leaving the present subject, I must not omit to speak of the discovery, by Professor Schonlein, of Zurich, of minute microscopical crystals in the faecal matter of patients labouring under typhus fever. These were transparent and fragile, and consisted chiefly of sulphate of lime, phosphate of lime, and soda. They were generally rhombic, or prismatic, and were not detected in the discharges accompanying the ordinary forms of diarrhoea, even that occurring in the latter stage of tubercular phthisis.|| Miiller, of Berlin, to whom the account of Professor Schon- * Ixxx.
