was pale and limpid: At first it deposited no Sediment;
but when the Fever came to remit, there was often a small Sediment
after each Paroxysm; and as the Fever was going off, it let fall a
Sediment in all[71].

[71] Dr. _Hillary_ says the Symptoms of this Fever in
_Barbadoes_ were much the same as those of the [Greek: syneches],
or continued Remitting Fever in England; except only that the
Urine in this hot Climate never deposits any lateritious
Sediment, nor very rarely in any intermitting or any other
Fever, except when a Crisis happens that Way. _Observations
on the Diseases of Barbadoes_, p. 23.

Some at first were inclined to be costive; others had a Sickness and
Purging; and several of those who were costive in the Beginning, were
in the Course of the Disorder attacked with a Purging; and others,
after some previous Complaint of the Stomach, were seized with both
Vomiting and Purging. In general, after the Sick continued some Days
in the Hospital, they were inclined to be loose; which was a
favourable Circumstance, when this Evacuation was not so great as to
be in Danger of sinking the Patient. Some were attacked with a
Dysentery.

In this, as well as in most other Fevers, the Sick frequently passed
by Stool Worms of the round Kind; and sometimes they vomited them up,
or the Worms came up into their Mouth or Nostrils while they lay
asleep in Bed; and some towards the Height were afflicted with
Deafness, which was commonly a favourable Symptom.

Most of those ill of this Disorder had a yellowish Colour of the
Countenance, which went off with the Fever. It was more observable in
some than in others; in general, it was slight; some few became yellow
all over[72]; particularly one Man, in the Hospital at _Munster_, who,
after being seized with violent Vomiting and Purging, Convulsions, and
Twitchings of the Tendons, and Hiccup, became yellow, as in the
deepest Jaundice. This Symptom of Yellowness arises from a Redundancy
and Absorption of Bile; and is sometimes observed in other Fevers as
well as this[73]; for while we were at _Paderborn_ in _February_
1761, two Men were brought to the Hospital in Fevers, attended with
this Symptom. They were both delirious, with parched dry Tongues,
slight Twitchings of the Tendons, and other bad Symptoms; and one of
them had a continual Vomiting and Purging. They both died, and the
Body of him who had the Purging was opened. All the Bowels, especia
