    difeafe, is, efpecially upon our defi- nition of it, altogether improper and indefinite : For he arranges the difeafe in Dr.Cullen’s Clafs Cachexite (•z>) and in the order Impetigines (u). The name or appellation Glandu- lar Difeafe, has not been adopted, becaufe it is deficient in conveying an idea of the difeafe. The fever, inflammation and fwelling of the extremity, though material parts of the difeafe, are not in the leaft com- prehended under this appellation. As it feems at prefent to be a difeafe peculiar to Barbadoes, may it not be called the Barbadoes Difeafe, vel Morbus (v) Totius vel magnae partis corporis habitus deprava- tus; fine pyrexia primaria vel neurofi. (u) Cachexise, cutero et externum corpus pnecipue defcrmantes.
