They all complained more or less of a soreness in the seats of these pains, particularly when they occupied the head and eyeballs.

Страница 72 - We have shown that no vessel that arrived here from any infected port, whether in South America or the West Indies, brought any cases of Yellow Fever, had any on them whilst they were here, or gave rise to any cases previous to those which must have originated in this city. 4.

Occasionally we see the hemorrhagic diathesis of Yellow Fever displayed in the negro, but it is by no means common.
