Gentleman's Magazine vol.25 p.103, 1755:-
Account of Weather and Diseases in Carlisle. SINCE my last the weather has continued much as before, lowring, dark, and frosty, but not intensely cold. The thermometer never fell below 31 in February, nor indeed much lower in any other part of the winter. - Since March commenced we have had cold easterly winds, but not high, and some sprinklings of snow, which dissolv'd as it fell; the thermometer has never been below 35, and on the 5th was up at 48. Rheumatic pains begin to affect us as much, and obstinate swellings of the gums, which in children have generally broke; in adults they have affected the teeth and jaws, and sometimes the larinx and uvula. Stomatic complaints have been also frequent, flatulencies, nauseas, inflammatory pains, and bilious vomittings, which have been followed by hysterics, watchings, and troublesome dreams; intermittents seem also to come on as the season advances, which is indeed but slowly. |
