Mr. WARNER, apothecary, in Foreftreet, on Feb. 22, 1797, after an attendance of a few days on a patient, who died of a malignant fever, was fuddenly feized with a vertiginous affection of the head, accompanied with ficknefs at the ftomach, and followed by violent vomiting. Thefe fymptoms were fucceeded by a 2 fever; during the continuance of which, 3 confiderable pain was felt in the region of the abdomen, particularly about the left hypochondrium; and, in a few days after 4 the abatement of the fever, fymptoms of jaundice appeared. The tunica conjunctiva of the eye, and the whole furface of the body became of a very deep yellow colour; the ftools were of a clay-like appearance, and the urine was very much

There was a fenfe of pain and stricture about the præcordia, accompanied with a confiderable degree of tenfion of the abdomen: and the pain in the left hypochondrium frequently returned. The breathing was fometimes very much affected: the heat of the skin was increafed and feconded by a defquamation of the cuticle, and fuch a degree of itching as proved very troublefome. The state of the pulfe was not much affected at any age of the difeafe. Thefe fymptoms continued for feveral months, attended with great languor and debility, an indifpofition to motion, together with confiderable anxiety of mind. As in the courfe of the difeale a variety of fymptoms occurred, fo different medicines were employed, according to the different circuniliances of the cafe. The bowels were kept open by aloes, rhubarb, and foap. Different, bitters were employed: gentian and columbo were frequently ufed. Myrrh and feel were

taken with a view to their tonic effect, and for the mitigation of pain, opium was repeatedly adminiftered.

Calomel was frequently ufed, but the ftate of the bowels fometimes rendering the ufe of it improper, mercurial frictions were fubftituted in its room.

After the use of various medicines, without any important advantage being produced, the nitrous acid was taken in the quantity of a dram every day. During the use of thefe medicines, the various fymptoms gradually abated: the yellow colour of the eye and of the skin grew fainter; the tenfion of the abdomen diminished; the pain and ftricture about the præcordia abated; the strength gradually returned, and the appetite was much improved. No inconvenience arofe to the ftomach or bowels from the ufe of the acid, till after it had been taken for fome weeks, when the patient felt a pain in his ftomach; for the relief of which, he took a few grains of kali preparatum, and repeated the dofe twice or thrice in the courfe of the week. Whilft it was judged proper to mention

this circumftance, it is equally neceffary to observe, that the small quantity of the kali taken can hardly affect the conclufion which may be drawn refpecting the advantage of the nitrous acid in this instance.

This report will probably bring to the recollection of the medical reader, the experiments of Mr. WM. SCOTT, of Bombay, and the conclufion which he draws concerning the effect of the nitrous acid on the refinous bafe of the bile, and the resemblance of the effects of this medi cine to those which generally occur in the ufe of mercurials.

events might render inevitable. To the prefent number he proposed to add 10,000 men, making a total of 120,000 men for the fervice of the prefent year. He obferved, that though the vote of that night went to require an addition of 10,000 men, yet, as the exigency of last rendered year it neceffary to employ 6700 men in addition to the number of 110,000 already -employed, it would only be necessary to raite fomething less than 4000 more, which would effectually answer every purpofe. He then moved, that there be granted to his Majefty, to defray the extraordinaries of the army for the year 1797, the fum of 1,351,3911. 195. 3d. : the fum of 70,000l. for 10,000 extra feamen and marines, at 71. per man per year.

The principal variation which appeared in the two budgets, in the statement of the ways and means for the year 1798, was in the article of the affeffed taxes, which the minifter had eftimated, in November, at feven millions, but from the various modifications which had been made, in what was called the Treble Affeffment bill, he ftated them in April at the fum of four millions and a half! !

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the fame day, brought up his fecond budget for the current year. By this budget he added nearly three millions to the expences of the year above what he calculated when he opened his first budget in November lait. This excefs he tated to be occafioned chiefly by the additional exertions, which the continued preparations and increafed activity of the enemy had rendered unavoidable. The whole amount of the fupplices for the prefent year, he stated at 28,490,391).
