When intermittents are not curable by febrifuge medicines, but disappear on the removal of a stricture in the urethra, no body can doubt where the head-quarters of the cornplaint lie. Dr. Frank senior describes a quartan, which resisted all possible drugs for several months. The patient was cutting a (lens sapientiae. The gum being lanced, the ague was seen no more. Sympathy may be called in here; of that hereafter. But with this aid, it might be difficult to account for partial or local fevers; a part becoming independently cold, hot, and then moist with sweat at regular periods. Having seen such phaenomena, I must consider the numerous accounts we have of After strong spasmodic, convulsive or vascular action, we shall occasionally find signs of in~ inflame that membrane to the navel and up to the stomach, exciting alittle cough and giving some false shew of pneumonia (as we see in puerperal fever when the inflammation reaches high up).

There never was the smallest appearance of disorr» ganization in any viscus.--I do not apply this case to the question particularly.
