A variety of typhus mitior of Cullen, but many
considered as a distinct disease. It mostly begins with the loss
of appetite, increased heat and vertigo; to which succeed nausea,
vomiting, great languor, and pain in the head, which is variously
described, by some like cold water pouring over the top, by others
a sense of weight. The pulse, before little increased, now becomes
quick, febrile, and tremulous; the tongue is covered with a white
crust, and there is great anxiety about the precordia. Towards the
seventh or eighth day, the vertigo is increased, and tinnitus aurium,
cophosis, delirium, and a dry and tremulous tongue, take place.
The disease mostly terminates about the fourteenth or twentieth
day. [Hooper1843].
