Book Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the New York Medico-Chirurgical Society Dr. Kimball stated that fevers of a malarial type had prevailed to an unusual degree, during the last three years, along the New Jersey coast. A peculiar feature of the attacks was that they asserted themselves two hours earlier every second day. The prevalence of the disease induced him to map out the so-called disease-centres, with the object of ascertaining, if possible, its causation. Careful investigation impels him to believe that it is largely due to drought, combined with the peculiar character of the subsoil. The paroxysms were regular and sequential.
