Of the Catarrhus Æstivus, or Summer Catarrh

IN the tenth volume of the Society's Transactions there is an account of a disease which I conceive to be of a specific nature, and which from its symptoms, and from its occurring only at a certain period of the year, I propose to name the catarrhus antivus.In my former communication, I detailed the symptoms as they occurred in my own person; my present object is to extend my remarks to the affection as it occurs in other individuals, to inquire into its cause, and to mak-e some observations on the mode of treatment.The number of cases which I have either seen or of which I have received a distinct account, amounts to eighteen, besides about ten others, whichl are less correctly ascertained.They all agree in the complaint making its appearance.at the same season of the year, in its seat being the VOL.XIV.-0G G * " I have known it (catarrh) return in four or five persons annually in the months of April, May, June, or July, and last a month, with great violence.
