7. Those officers who wore flannel shirts or waistcoats next to their skins, in general escaped fevers and diseases of all kinds. 8. The principal diseases in the hospitals were the typhus gravior and mitior of Doctor Cullen. Men who came into the hospitals with pleurisies or rheumatisms, soon lost the types of their original diseases, and suffered, or died, by the above-mentioned states of fever. 9. The typhus mitior always prevailed most, and with the worst symptoms in winter. A free air, which could only be obtained in summer, always prevented, or mitigated it. 10. In all those cases, where the contagion was received, cold seldom failed to render it active. Whenever an hospital was removed in winter, one half of the patients generally sickened on the way, or soon after their arrival at the place to which they were sent. 11. Drunken soldiers and convalescents were most subject to this fever. 12. Those patients in this fever who had large ulcers on their back or limbs, generally recovered. 13. I met with several instances of buboes, also of ulcers in the throat, as described by Doctor Donald Monro. They were mistaken by some of the junior surgeons for venereal sores, but they yielded to the common remedies of the hospital fever. 14. There were many instances of patients in this fever, who suddenly fell down dead, upon being moved, without any previous symptoms of approaching dissolution. This was more especially the case, when they arose to go to stool. 15. The contagion of this fever was frequently conveyed from the hospital to the camp, by means of blankets and clothes. 16. Those black soldiers who had been previously slaves, died in a greater proportion by this fever, or had a much slower recovery from it, than the same number of white soldiers. 17. The remedies which appeared to do most service in this disease were vomits of tartar emetic, gentle dozes of laxative salts, bark, wine, volatile salt, opium, and blisters. 18. An emetic seldom failed of checking this fever if exhibited while it was in a _forming_ state, and before the patient was confined to his bed.
