Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philadelphia Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences, 1821, Vol. 2 Mrs. Philly, who was attended by Dr. Clark, was treat ed in a manner nearly similar, though with less vigour, but with the same unfortunate result. She was bled twenty-five ounces, and purged with calomel, which was also exhibited with the intention to salivate. The disease in this case was insidious, presenting no very alarming symptoms, until the evening preceding dissolution. At the same time, the disease was witnessed in Mrs. Double; a tenant of the house in which Mrs. Philly resided, abandoned nearly to its course, uncontrolled by any reme dial means. The confusion attendant on the hasty removal of the inhabitants, and procuring accommodations out of the city, for such as could not provide a refuge for themselves, and the want of a regular attendant, caused her to be ne gleeted. Yet the symptoms did not assume a more malig nant aspect, than occurred in many of those, who were nu derregular and careful treatment. In fact, in the cases of the first class, the disease moved steadily on, from stadium to stadium, unchecked, and indeed unaffected by any treat ment pursued, nearly the same as if left to contend with the mere efforts of the constitution.
