Book Description

Excerpt from The Saint Louis Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 39: October 20, 1880 This stage of the disease was attended with a very great and sudden prostration Of strength; a very remarkable hollow dry cough; and a peculiar change in the tone Ofthe voice; not easily described, but so singular, that a person who had once heard it, could almost certainly know the disease again by hearing the patient cough or speak. In some the voice was almost entirely lost, and would continue very weak and low for several weeks after recovery. A constant fever attended this disease, but it was much more remarkable in the night than in the day time and in some there was a remarkable remission towards morning.
