The limbs were affected with rheumatic soreness for a short time; but at the end of a fortnight the patient felt himself recovered. It is worthy of observation, that, even in this case, although in the first instance the natural functions did not appear to be disordered, the mercurial purgative was remarkably useful, and, by the consequent relief, more than compensated for the immediate difficulty of changing the position. The large doses of opium did not cause any unpleasant sensation of the head, so completely did pain counteract its influence in that particular. I think it probable that the vapor bath would have proved useful in this case, and have led to an earlier relief. CASE I. Sub-acute Rheumatism, terminating in the chronic species.
