    / Method of Cure. AMONGST the multiplicity of medical writers, only a few have favoured us with a description of the Scarlet Fever and Sore Fhroat; and fewer still with the method of cure* y Morton, considering this and the measles to be the same disease, directs the practice to be the same in both ; and in this he is a much better guide than those who have written more expressly upon the subject* I can believe that the con¬ stitutions of the natives in different parts of Europe, will allow of a considerable difference in the method of treatment; but I am persuaded that those who practice in England with success, will find more occasions to depart from, than to concur with the methods advised by the French and German authors.
