Her morning temperature was usually 99° to 99-4/5°, and in the evening, 9 to 10 o'clock, it always rose to 100°, 101°, and at times to 102°.

I give a single case of what is rare but not exceptional,--an almost constant fall of temperature. Miss N., æt. 21, hysteria, good condition: Before Massage.
