An Epidemic Disease in Bombay

almost as suddenly as it came in about two days, leaving behind no other symptom of cold except a slight congestion of the nasal mucous membrane. There is hardly any rise of temperature in most cases, a few varying between 99? to 100? F. at most. There is pronounced lassitude without marked headache or any congestion of the eyes, but some patients complain of aching of the whole body musculature; none of the joints are involved. The disinclination to work or exertion of any kind almost amounts to prostration, and this lasts for some days beyond the acute duration of the disease which may be taken as 3 to 4 days in the majority of cases. Distaste for food is very marked for some time after the onset, many people complaining of nausea at the sight of food.
