Note 110 — Chapter III · THE THIRD VISITATION OF THE DISEASE.—1517.

B. G. (Benjamin Guy) Babington translation

Such was the name given in Germany to the already oft-mentioned pernicious fever with inflammation of the brain. We recognise it for the first time, as an epidemic, in France, in the year 1482. (See above, p. 189.) It frequently made its appearance throughout the whole of the sixteenth century.
