Folios 34-37: surgeon’s general remark regarding the fever cases of this journal which consisted of every variety of the “Navarino Fever” from the beginning of June to middle of September, the surgeon stated that “to have inserted all the fever cases at length would have been a tedious and useless task”. He also mentioned that “after the Dryads departure from Navarino, the British Squardron suffered from a bilious remittent fever, of which the surgeon there, and then, employed, have no doubt given full and clear statements.” He pointed out that “within the Pillars of Hercules, a great variety of climates – even the same degree of lattitute”. And that “Gibraltar lies about one degree of lattitute south of Navarino, where ardent fever had ceased to exist in almost every ship, before the fever of Gibraltar had appeared to any extent”. He also stated that “Those diseases appear to have differed as much in their symptoms and termination as in their time of existance.” He mentioned that “In Gibraltar the fever commenced in the beginning of September, its maximum was from the 9th to 20th of October, greatest 17th October”. This fever differed from the billious remittent [Navarino Fever ] in the degree of intensity. Treatment of this disease on the Rock [of Gibraltar] the greatest bleeding amounted to XXXVI, while other bleedings did not exceed XV. Leeches sometimes to the Temples, purgative enemas, mild drinks, juleps – tepid affusion – warm baths, effervescing draughts &c, blister. “As there is scarcely any one particular about this fever decided upon”, therefore the surgeon pointed out that “it would not be fair to criticise or compare too closely suffice it to say, that venesection is generally belived not to have answered” the surgeon seem to have doubt on the treatment of the disease and whether It was contagious.
