I «s 1 have frequently seen agues appear, when there 1 ua ' was no reason to irapu;e the cauic to mar/by ! Y ™ effluvia ; but merely to contagion. Ihe sol- ve 0 lowing are a few of the many inftanees, 2d which might be adduced in support of this ot t opinion. Several years ago I attended a la- OUw " y dy in a palfv, who lived in a town wnere ' r <"> na ague.prevailed, .and was cenfined to a P HS ' three pair of stairs room : yet, nevertheless, she took a tertian, whtre no oecafional cause ' no 6 could be imputed except contagions yU , i. " A few years after, a gentleman ill Qf mar ' the palsy, as also his fervaut maid, were at- cxtr tacked with intermittents, and no other P«*> taufc could be assigned, except the-vrfit of a- noiher maulfrrvunt, who lived in the coun- ban, , . try who was ill of an agus. P ac 1 « A person ill of an ague visited a child, and in a high and; airy situation ; and when the the feverifh state began to fubfule, had much milt intcrcourfe with it. The child in a few boa days took the disease. "An adult person whose habits and man- 0 ner of life, made him by no means fubjeft to K ' lr ! an intermittent, called upon a friend who cut) was fwcating profufely ill the paroxysm of dut a tertian. The effluvia arising from the ged patient*, body, he said, he received by in- fpiration ; the (cent, of which he never af terwards could get rid of : In a few days he was seized with an intermittent, with le- q"' is vere quotidian paroxysms, attended tvith de- the lirium, and great irritability of stomach. call In the third paroxysm I visited him ; and he r- n then appeared to be in so great danger, that uc every measure was instantly niade use ot to or break the force of the next fit ; which cor succeeded; but he continued for some weeks as, extremely weak. f °' " Since I was elefted physician to the lev Newcastle infirmary, in May 1788, I have >< n had fix, inflances of agues being communicated. »ti from one person to another by contagion.— And .the fame thing has happened to iorae of the other medical geutlemen in the hof- rei. pital.
