with intermittent fever for the first time on the 7th
of that month. I gave him some blue pill and colo-
cynth, and then quinine for seven days, when fever
ceased; then quassia and iron for eight days. On
1st July fever returned; quinine in the same doses
was given until the 8th, without favourable result.
On that day I injected under the skin, at 9:30 a.m.,
three-quarters of a grain of carbolic acid (pure),
mixed with twenty minims of water. On the 10th
he appeared again at the dispensary, having had no
fever since the injection, but he complained of head-
ache. The injection was repeated, and on the 12th
he reported himself to be free of fever. Twenty
minims of tincture of iron in an ounce of infusion
of quassia for four days. Since that time he has
remained quite well.

938. Minassie, Madras, female, æt. 30 Came to
     dispensary on the 23rd June with intermittent fever,
     from which she had suffered three previous attacks.
     A powder of calomel and jalap was given, and this
     was followed by quinine until the 1st July, when
     turpentine and castor oil were administered as an
     anthelmintic. On the 3rd July she was ordered four
     grains of quinine every three hours, but on the 9th,
     fever continuing, I gave her a subcutaneous injection
     of two-thirds of a grain of carbolic acid in twenty
     minims of water. On the 10th she said she had no
     fever; the injection was nevertheless repeated on this
     and on the following day. On the 23rd she returned,
     complaining of cramps, &c. I was at that time ill,
     and she was given two grains of quinine every three
     hours for two days. Since this she has remained
     quite well.

939. Arthur Dormundee, creole, male, æt. 21.
     Had intermittent fever on the 4th June, and was
     cured in ten days with quinine. He appeared again
     at the dispensary on the 30th June, having suffered
     a relapse. An aperient of calomel and jalap was
     given, and this was followed by one-twentieth of a
     grain of strychnine three times daily. On 9th July
     he received the first injection of two-thirds of a grain
     of carbolic acid in twenty minims of water, and on the
     10th the second, in hospital. No fever occurring he
     was discharged on the 13th, taking iron and quassia
     for three days. On 2nd August, while I was on sick
     leave, he appeared once at the dispensary, and Dr.
     Cox gave him a bottle of Warburg's tincture.

10:32. Fidelia Bangar, creole, female, æt. 12. At-
tended dispensary on 1st July, having relapsed from
a former attack, which was cured with quinine on the
7th June. An aperient of calomel and jalap was
given, and then one-thirtieth of a grain of strychnine
three times daily. No beneficial result arising, ten
grains of quinine were given her at 9 a.m. on the 9th
(the rigors usually occurring about 10 a.m.), and four
grains every three hours afterwards. Fever appeared
daily, but in a milder form; and on the 11th July an
injection of two-thirds of a grain of carbolic acid in
twenty minims of water was administered, and this
was repeated on the 12th, since which time she has
had no fever.

1126. Agilda Radague, creole, female, æt. 12 Feb.
      intermittent: has had previous attacks; attended the
      dispensary for the first time on 8th July; her state-
      ment being that on the 6th rigors recommenced at
      1 p.m. Two-fifths of a grain of carbolic acid was
      injected, and she reported that on the 9th she had
      had two very mild attacks, lasting half an hour each
      time, the first at noon, and the second at 3 p.m. On
      the 10th she failed to come to the dispensary, having
      fever at the time, and I sent her doses of one and
      a half grains of quinine to be taken every three hours.
      On the 11th she received the third injection, and
      afterwards iron and quassia. Has had no relapse.

1127. Adomar, Calcutta, male, æt. 10. Fever ap-
      peared at 3 p.m. on the 2nd July, and on the 4th he
      presented himself at the dispensary. An aperient of
      calomel and jalap was followed by quinine every three
      hours, until the 13th, when, fever still occurring at
      three o'clock daily, two-fifths of a grain of carbolic
      acid in twelve minims of water was injected, and this
      was repeated on the 14th. On the 16th he reported
      himself well, and since then I have not heard of him,
      nor can I find him.

1128. Ludriere Constant, creole, male, æt. 59, had
      fever for the first time on the 25th of May, of which
      he was cured with quinine on the 28th. On June
      3rd, and until the 8th, fever re-appeared, and was
      again banished by quinine. On the 22nd he suffered
      a second relapse, and strychnine was prescribed daily
      until the 8th July, on which he received a first injec-
      tion of carbolic acid, two-thirds of a grain in twenty
      minims of water, and this was repeated on the follow-
      ing day; no fever recurring until the 18th, when he
      said he had cramps, once mildly. He was given two
      minims of carbolic acid in an ounce of water four
      times a day, and on the 25th I find a note in my
      register, "Nothing but debility," for which quassia
      and iron were prescribed. On the 27th, while absent
      on sick leave, Dr. Cox, gave him a subcutaneous
      injection of quinine five grains; on the 29th, War-
      burg's tincture; and on the 1st August, five minims
      of Fowler's solution of arsenic three times daily. On
      the 5th of August, on my return to duty, I ordered
      him four grains of quinine three times a day, and on
      the 14th he was well, and has since continued so.

1129. Joseph Celeste, creole, male, æt. 40. This
      man was cured on 25th June of his second attack
      of intermittent fever with quinine and iron. He
      suffered a relapse on the 9th July, and received an
      aperient of calomel and jalap, and an injection of
      two-thirds of a grain of carbolic acid in twenty
      minims of water. He absented himself until the
      12th, saying that he had had no fever until that
      morning. The injection was then repeated, and he
      was given some quassia and iron to take. On the
      3rd August he again reported himself ill, and five
      grains of quinine were ordered three times a day.
      Since then he has remained well.

1130. Epaulet La Marre, creole, male, æt. 50; ap-
      peared at dispensary on the 9th July, saying that he
      had had fever and cramps at 10 o'clock on the morn-
      ing of the 8th, and that he had suffered from it for
      one month, during which time he had taken quinine,
      without knowing how much. I gave him an aperient
      powder of calomel and jalap, and administered an
      injection of two-thirds of a grain of carbolic acid in
      twenty minims of water; on the following day I
      repeated the injection while he was suffering acutely
      from rigors; on the 11th he received a third injection,
      and on the 13th reported himself well. I have not
      since heard of him.
