with new bricks and mortar perhaps, but that passed away and I had no fever from that series of attacks, which might have lasted a month or two. Certainly after Christmas 1878 I had no attack until 1887, on going into my present house.
By Dr. Manson.
208. Since your first attack in 1887 have you resided elsewhere than in the house in which
you first acquired the fever, and if so, where, and had you an attack or attacks of fever there?
A.—I have never resided anywhere else until I went to the Peak in November.
209.--Had you attacks of fever after going to the Peak?
A. Yes.
By Dr. Ayres.
210.-The fever continued after you went to the Peak?
A. Yes.
211.-A continuation of the same fever?
A. The symptoms were the same but I think the attacks were brought on perhaps by neglecting to take quinine for a day or two, and I think I can trace the last attack to over fatigue, but, the symptoms were the same as before.
212. Has your family suffered from fever?
A. Yes.
213.-In 1887?
A.--Yes.
214. In the same house?
A. Yes, my wife and all the children.
215.-Were all of them of the same type as yours?
A.-All the same type. Perhaps the vomiting was absent in the case of some of the children. I think so generally, but in some cases I know it has not been absent.
216.-But they all had distinct periods. The fever lasted for a day or two and then abated?
A. Yes, I think there was no variation, the type was almost identically the same.
217.-Were they all treated with quinine?
A. Yes.
218.--All treated as malarial fever?
A. Yes.
By Dr. Manson.
219.-Did no member of the household escape?
A.-No.
220. Was there any diarrhoea?
A.--No.
