On her return, she said to Marguerite, who was at work beside her: "What is a miliary fever? Do you know?" "Yes," answered the old spinster; "it is a disease." "Does it require many drugs?"

The membrane of the nose will always exhibit marks of inflammation, and particularly in the frontal sinuses and ethmoidal cells; and I have observed the portion of membrane on the septum, or cartilaginous division of the nostrils, between the frontal sinuses and ethmoidal cells, to be studded with small miliary tubercles.
The following day I was better: the doctors found my pulse regular, and without any intermitting symptom.
