These are marked by certain local characteristics, as the swelling of the joints in acute rheumatism, the sore-throat in scarlatina, or the eruption on the skin in smallpox, and their course is more or less strictly limited by distinct periods of increase, acme, and decline.

Scarlatina has been divided by medical men into three classes, according to its different degrees of severity; the mild that accompanied with bad sore-throat and the malignant variety. We have specially to do with the first of the three; for it is in it only that there is danger of the disease being overlooked, or mistaken.

I am not ashamed to acknowledge this, and I believe that most of my neighbours in Friday Street would own as much were they as candid and open-hearted as myself. It is now some time since I was recommended to pass the first four months of the year in Cairo because I had a sore-throat.

The golden seal, a "remedy for toothache, headache, sore-throat, sprains, etc., etc.," was served in a diluted state with milk and sugar, and taken as a beverage. The herrin' had destroyed my sense of taste; anything in a liquid state was alike delectable to me, and while I drank, I had a sense of having become somehow mysteriously connected with the book of revelations.

Besides the rash there are commonly other symptoms not less characteristic of scarlatina, and among them the sore-throat is one of the most invariable.

Monsieur and Madame Phellion have just arrived, and they inform me that their son, Monsieur Felix, is not coming. He has a cold and a sore-throat." "Then he got it this afternoon reading that lecture," cried the professor, joyfully. "That's justice! Madame, where do you get your brandy?" "Why, at my grocer's," replied Brigitte, taken aback by the question.

A man must produce romance, or at least submit to it, when duly summoned, even though he should have a sore-throat or a headache. He is a brute if he decline such an encounter, and feels that, should he so decline persistently, he will ever after be treated as a brute.

When any considerable enlargement of the tonsils exists, each cold that the child may catch aggravates it, and if diphtheria, scarlatina, or severe sore-throat should occur, the temporary increase of the swelling may become the occasion of serious danger.
