Of DIET AND DRINKS. The advantages of a weak vegetable diet were very great in this fever. I found but little difficulty in mod cafes in having my prohibition of animal food complied with before the crifis of the fever, but there was often fuch a fudden excitement of the appetite for it, immediately afterwards, that it was difficult to reftrain it. I have mentioned the cafe of a young man who was upon the recovery, who died in confequence of fupping upon beef-flakes. Many other inftances of the... mortality of this fever from a fimilar caufe, I believe, occurred in our epi- demic, which were concealed from our phyficians. I am not fmgular in afcribing the death of convale- fcents to the too early ufe of animal food. Dr. Poiflbnnier has the following important remark up- on this fubjeft. " The phyficians of Breft have obferved, that the reiapfes in the malignant fever which prevailed in their naval hofpitals, were as much BILIOUS YELLOW FEVER IN 1797. Lip much the effect of a fault in the diet of the fick as of the contagious air to which they were expofed, and that as many patients perifhed from this caufe, as from the original fever.
