    This case is remarkable on account of the long continu- ance of a temperature above natural, although the patient appeared quite well. On the day on which she was suffi- ciently well to be considered convalescent, the temperature was still above 98 deg. Case 13—Mary McG., age 19 years; admitted January 1st, 18GG; five days ill before admission, nursing a child five months old ; maculated. Pulse. Temperature Fahr.
