2. The Pulse was quicker, but less hard, and less strong, than generally
happens in Diseases of the Throat.
3. The Patients were afflicted with a sharp, stinging and dry Heat, and
with great Restlessness.
4. They spat less than is usual in a common Quinsey; and their Tongues
were extremely dry.
5. Though they had some Pain in swallowing, this was not their principal
Complaint, and they could drink sufficiently.
6. The Swelling and Redness of the Tonsils, of the Palate, and of its
Process were not considerable; but the parotid and maxillary Glands, and
especially the former, being extremely swelled and inflamed, the Pain
they chiefly complained of, was this outward one.
7. When the Disease proved considerably dangerous, the whole Neck
swelled; and sometimes even the Veins, which return the Blood from the
Brain, being overladen, as it were, the Sick had some Degree of
Drowsiness, and of a _Delirium_, or Raving.
