35S MEDICAL JOURNAL, at Jaffa in the month of May 1800, which loss in diseases amounted at least to eight thousand men. Jan. 27. A tremendous gale of wind, with rain, and hail, accompanied with loud thunder, and vivid lightning, came on this evening. The gale, still accompanied by rain, continued until the 3 1st before it moderated. Jan. 31. The Haznadar, or treasurer of the Grand Vizier, died this day of plague. Only one case of intermittent (quotidian) and a case of dysentery on our sick list this month. The intermittent yielded easily to the bark. The three men in the lazaretto tent were released from confine- ment. Feb. 7. Fine weather since the 4th instant. Wind N. E. or E. The horizon clear. The stormy weather commenced usually with a mist, or hazi- ness of atmosphere, coming from the southward the day preceding the storm; and a large disk or circle round the moon. The mission was in tolerable good health, except that the cold, rainy season was very generally productive of painful glandular tumefac- tions. This happening at the pestilential season, and being one of the symptoms of plague, gave rise to some alarm among those at- tacked ; but, being unaccompanied with febrile symptoms, their fears soon subsided. Some of these tumors suppurated among the children : a general relief was afforded by warm fomentations, flan- nel, &c. The Vizier was taken ill with fever, the apparent effects of cold, his complaints yielded in a few days to antimonial remedies, pedi- luvium, Sec. Feb. 14. The weather has been fine the last week. No fresh case of plague for several days past among the Turks. But reports from Fl-Arisli state, that it prevails fatally in that camp : they have lost several thousand men within a few weeks. A Venetian Doctor died this day of malignant fever, the 3th day from attack. The apothecary reported, that there were three or four cases of the same fever in Jaffa camp. The weather to-day hazy, and sultrv, though the thermometer in shade, at two o'clock P. M. 66. On the ] 6th there was a gale of wind, which raised clouds of sand into the atmosphere, and which was extremely annoying
SYRIA AND EGYPT. 359 This storm was preceded by hazy and sultry weather ; the hazi- ness came from the southward. During the first fortnight of this month the weather was moderate and pleasant, and the mission healthy. In the course of the last fortnight the weather was very variable, stormy, and rainy, with fine warm days occasionally. Feb. 23. The weather became very variable, stormy, and rainy, for two or three days together, succeeded by warm days, and cold nights and mornings. The Ottoman army marched from Jaffa on the 25th February, on its way to Egypt. Consequently the principal part, or, indeed, the whole of the sick, were doomed to remain at Jaffa, or make their best way homeward. The only means which the Turks have to carry their sick or wounded is upon camels, in a kind of covered cradle, one of which is placed at each side of the animal. Each camel carries four per- sons, two in each cradle, sitting a la Turc, as there is not length The motion appears extremely uneasy and sufficient to lie down : wearisome. There are few of these conveniencies, when compared to the numbers which compose the Turkish army. They are principally carried for the officers and their suite. The Turks have neither hospitals, nor hospital tents, set apart for the use of the sick. To introduce such establishments, or attempt a medical reform in The common soldier who their armies, appears utterly impossible : may unfortunately fall sick on the march, has no means pointed out to him to get forward ; and if he stays behind, he is exposed to perish through want. Consequently a Turkish in army motion must be the least encumbered with sick. A military artificer stationed at the camp of El-Arish, with Captain Lacey of the royal engineers, died the 21th February, with malignant fever, after four days illness. The month of March commenced with stormy weather, rains, thunder and lightning. March 3. A woman belonging to the mission died at Jaffa, after an illness of thirty-six hours, under suspicious symptoms. The whole of the women and children belonging to the military mission, who were left in a house in that place for the present, and who amounted to thirty in number, adopted the oily frictions, and every necessary precaution to prevent the disease from spre^djag; happi- ly no serious consequences followed.
