The skin cold, and the pulse much below the natural standard. The urine was m most instances suppressed. , It will be observed, that sickness does not always attend upon an attack, though nausea more or less does so invariably. The case of the man who was found collapsed m the road had neither pain nor sickness until the collapse came on, though I heard he had sutteied from diarrhoea which he neglected. A . . , I have not recorded any cases as collapsed unless the pulse had quite left the wrist, though many of the patients, from the coldness, as well as lividity of their surface, and extreme depression of the circulating system, might be considered in that condition, and doubtless would be recorded so by many practitioners. . , It will, of course, be understood, that tonics and stimulants were sometimes required to restore patients from the depression and debility frequently attendant on the disease.
