Figs. 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, represent the progress of the eruption, in a
female, from its incipient to its maturated state. The same section of
skin is represented from the 1st to the 5th day of the eruptive stage,
on which day the patient died. On the 2nd day, (fig. 8,) the vesicles
began to exhibit a central lividness, which was augmented on the
subsequent days. The patient had been some years before successfully
vaccinated. She was delivered of a child on the 1st day of the eruptive
stage. The minutes of this case have been mislaid; but the post mortem
appearances were indicative of high action, if not inflammation, of the
uterus and its appendages. The infant of this woman, forming Case VIII.
died of small-pox three weeks afterwards, on the sixth day of the
eruption.
This plate, together with some others yet unpublished, are from the
accurate pencil of Mr. now Dr. HARRINGTON, of this city.

FOOTNOTES:
[11] This was first at Bush Hill, and subsequently at the Sugar House,
near the Alms House.
[12] The largest proportion of these deaths was in the six months from
the 1st of November, 1823, to 1st of May, 1824, being in that period
about four hundred.
[13] Kept by Reuben Haines, at Germantown, seven miles from the city.
The thermometrical mean is that from daily observations made by this
gentleman at sunrise and at 2 P. M.
[14] Of these 165 were by yellow fever.
[15] The deaths from inflammation of the different viscera, were as
reported in this year, 290, and from infantile flux and cholera morbus,
177.
[16] Same proportion of inflammations as last year, viz. 339.
[17] Should it be hereafter necessary, we can illustrate other varieties
of the disease by drawings which were taken at the same time with those,
of which coloured engravings are now furnished.
ARTICLE IV.--_Remarks on the Pathology and Treatment of Yellow Fever._
Arranged from the Notes of Dr. J. A. MONGES, of Philadelphia.
I arrived at St. Domingo in the year 1785, and from that period to the
time of my departure from thence, I had very ample opportunities of
observing and treating the diseases of that island, both in the country
and at the Cape. During the whole time of my residence there, the
ordinary febrile diseases of hot climates were of very frequent
occurrence, especially among the new comers, and those not acclimated;
but the real yellow fever, or vomito negro, never prevailed. So that
when I reached this city in 1793, I never had had an opportunity of
observing this disease.
