To the tertian or quartan fevers alfo belong the Er¬
ratic# of authors. As all thofe above mentioned differ
only in the flight circumftance of the type from the in¬
termitting and remitting tertians already defcribed at
length, it is unneceffary here to take up time in defcri-
bmg every minute circumftance related by phyficians
concerning them, efpecially as it could contribute no¬
thing towards the laving down a better method of cure
than what hath been already fuggefted.

Defcription. This kind of fever generally comes on
about fix or feven o’clock in the morning, beginning
with a confiderable degree of cold and {hivering, which
lafts for about an hour •, and is often accompanied with
vomiting or fpontaneous diarrhoea, or both. It is fuc-
ceeded by a pretty ftrong heat, accompanied with thirft,
reftleffnefs, and pain of the head. When the heat abates
a little, a fpontaneous fweat commonly follows, and the
whole paroxyfm rarely exceeds fix hours. It returns,
however, every day almoft always at the fame hour, un«
lefs it be evidently difturbed.
Caufes of, and perfons fubjeEl to, the difeafe. The
fame general caufes are to be affigned for the quotidian
as for other intermittents. This kind occurs but rare¬
ly ; and is faid to attack people of a phlegmatic tempe¬
rament rather than any other : alfo old people rather
than young, and women rather than men.
The prognofis and method of cure are not different
from thofe of tertians and quartans.

Thefe diftempers attack only fome particular part of
the body, as the head, the eye, arm, &c. producing
periodical affeaions of thofe parts returning once in 24
hours j they are to be cured by cinchona, as other in¬
termittents. They are known to belong to this elafs,
