milk sickness. 17 that doctors knew nothing of the disease, and the patient wouhl fare better in the hands of some kind neighbor than to risk the chances of sending many miles for an inexperienced physician. For several years past, however, medical aid is called for in tliis, as readily as in any other disease, and the physicians in all these conn-ties meet with uniform success in its treatment. Fortunately for me, in my first cases, the family and friends knew well Avhat AVas the matter, and no careful diagnosis on my part was necessary in that respect. The favorable termination of these cases, under circumstances not auspicious, gave me fre<|uent opportunities of observing the disease in its various stages and degrees of development, And although my experience has l)eon more extensive and of longer duration than that of any other ])hysician in our community, I claim no superiority over any of them in a knoAvledge of the pathology or treatment of this disease, and a prominence in this respect has been given me for many years back by the kind partiality of my professional brethren, as well as other citizens, to which I was not entitled. Yet the facts of experience are due to the profession as a matter of science, especially so to the young physician who may be called on to treat tlie disease, and also to the cause of suffering humanity. I shall depart from the usual method, and leave the consideration of the primary cause of this disease to the last, and to a subsequent number. The sji lit] ft inns by which the disease may be certainly known, and readily distinguished from any other malady�require special �attention. If these shall be so well defined and so clearly stated, that no in-intelligent observer, especially a physician need ever be mistaken in his diagnosis, my first object will have been achieved. In this, I shall take the liberty of quoting freely from the excellent treatise of Dr. Philips, of N. AV. Ohio, not only because of the accuracy of his description and minuteness of his details, but that our physicians in Western North Oarolina may recognize the identity of the disease he describes in that far off' country, Avith the one Avith which we are here familiar. One of the distinctive features of this disease is the absence of any xiremonitory symptoms. No chilliness, succeeded by SAveating
