OBSERVATIONS ON THE PREVALENT DISEASES OF THE SEASON. By JAMES JOHNSON, M.D. Surgeon to his R. H. the Duke of Clarence. Author of the " Influence of Tropical Climates on European Constitutions," and Editor of the Medico-Chirurgical Journal," &c. the secretion of bile. It is from this afflux of blood to the interior that bowel complaints are often brought on in the cold season as well as in the hot, though in a different manner. Already has Autumn, the emblem of one of the stages of human existence, begun to scatter his withered leaves over the fading verdure of the fields, as time sprinkles grey hairs on the head of man, long before the winter of old age. The. They require such medicines as prosun now gradually retires from our mote perspiration, and at the same time hemisphere, to dispense his alternate diminish the irritability of the intestines favours to the southern regions, and the -for instance, antimony and opium, with chilly atmosphere of evening reminds us occasional laxative.

The sudden transition from the tropical heats of July and August, to the present cool and variable weather, with frequent falls of rain, must, of course, produce a considerable change in the direction of sickness, and of atmospheric influence in particular. The bowel complaints of the hot season are now gradually veering round to pulmonic complaints, or those where the lungs are principally engaged. The national or climatorial complaint, indeed, is now beginning to develope itself, by ushering in its harbinger, common coughs, and colds; and in winter and spring, the graver affections of the lungs, inflammation and consumption, will follow, and carry many a victini to the tomb! We cannot therefore begin too early to prepare against these formidable enemies of the British constitution, by protecting the surface of the body and the lungs from the insalutary impressions of sudden atmospherical impressions, by a proper attention to dress, and by avoiding the night air. But this subject will be more particularly taken up in a future paper. In the mean time it is proper to observe that as the setting in of cool weather in the Autumn, and particularly in the evenings, confines the pores of the skin, and greatly diminishes the perspiration, a vicarious afflux of fluids to interior organs is the natural and necessary consequence; and hence it very generally happens that a considerable degree of derangement takes place in the functions of the liver and digestive organs, about this time, which ought to be provided against, by strict attention to dress, to diet, and to such medicines as keep the bowels free, and improve Among the lower classes of society, typhus fever now, in general, increases; but that excellent institution, the Fever Hospital, offers an important mean of arresting the progress of this destructive disease. 1. The Sulphureous vapour Bath, During the last three months, the reporter has watched the effects of the newly erected sulphureous vapour baths, constructed on the plan of Gallé in France, in various diseases of the skin, and also in paralytic and inveterate rheumatic complaints. He is strongly inclined to think, from what he has already seen, that these baths will prove a powerful remedy in many complaints which resist the usual means. The apparatus is extremely simple, and the process perfectly safe. The patient is shut up in a kind of sentry box, with the face free, and the body is then enveloped in an atmosphere of about 1200 impregnated with sulphureous acid gas. A copious perspiration, in the course of two minutes, begins to issue from every pore, and this continues for twenty minutes or half an hour, when he is released, and put immediately in a warmed bed in the same room, where he lies perspiring for an hour or two longer. In those cutaneous eruptions attended with scales, this process brings off a surprising quantity from the skin, and that without any exhaustion. In chronic rheumatism and gout, this acid gaseous bath appears to possess great power and efficacy; and in short, seems highly deserving of the attentive consideration of the profession and public in general.
