    This febrile affection is of a strictly continued form : the Marsh Fever is always marked by remissions and exacerbations, although these may sometimes be very obscure, indeed scarcely discernible. The first-mentioned disease, sel- dom occupies more than from three to five days; the latter is often protracted to as many weeks, unless the patient is early removed from the agency of its exciting cause—the marsh exhala- tion ; and such removal will often prevent the recurrence of future paroxysms, although it sel- dom produces any decided effect on that which is present. N. D. l$t January, 1813.
