Eruptions, or an abscess on the external parts of the body, if they occur before the last stage of the disease. A spitting of blood, in the early, or forming stage of the disease, is favourable, but after the lungs become much obstructed, or ulcerated, it is most commonly fatal. A pleurisy, occurring in the low state of the disease, generally kills, but I have seen a case in which it suddenly removed the cough and hectic fever, and thus became the means of prolonging the patient's life for several years. The discharge of calculi from the lungs by coughing and spitting, and of a thin watery liquid, with a small portion of pus swimming on its surface, are commonly signs of an incurable consumption. No prediction unfavourable to life can be drawn from pus being discharged from the lungs. We see many recoveries after it has taken place, and many deaths where that symptom has been absent. Large quantities of pus are discharged in consumptions attended with abscesses, and yet few die of them, where they have not been preceded by long continued debility of the whole system. No pus is expectorated from tubercles, and how generally fatal is the disease, after they are formed in the lungs! It is only after they ulcerate that they discharge pus, and it is only after ulcers are thus formed, that the consumption probably becomes uniformly fatal. I suspect these ulcers are sometimes of a cancerous nature. A sudden cessation of the cough, without a supervening diarrh[oe]a, indicates death to be at hand. A constant vomiting in a consumption, is generally a bad sign. Feet obstinately cold, also a swelling of the feet during the day, and of the face in the night, commonly indicate a speedy and fatal issue of the disease. Lice, and the falling off of the hair, often precede death. A hoarseness, in the beginning of the disease, is always alarming, but it is more so in its last stage. A change of the eyes from a blue, or dark, to a light colour, similar to that which takes place in very old people, is a sign of speedy dissolution. I have never seen a recovery after an apthous sore throat took place. Death from the consumption comes on in some or more than one, of the following ways: 1. With a diarrh[oe]a. In its absence, 2. With wasting night sweats. 3. A rupture of an abscess. 4. A rupture of a large blood-vessel in the lungs, attended with external or internal hæmorrhage. _Sudden_ and _unexpected_ death in a consumption is generally induced by this, or the preceding cause. 5. Madness. The cough and expectoration cease with this disease. It generally carries off the patient in a week or ten days. 6. A pleurisy, brought on by exposure to cold. 7. A typhus fever, attended with tremors, twitchings of the tendons, and a dry tongue. 8. Swelled hands, feet, legs, thighs, and face. 9. An apthous sore throat. 10. Great and tormenting pains, sometimes of a spasmodic nature in the limbs.
