they were still talking at Kous of its wonderful
effects. This circumstance gave me an opportu-

pimples, which they call habe Nili (sprouts or
seeds of the Nile), and which resemble those of
an ordinary eruption, only that they rise much
more considerably. This indisposition, which is
by no means dangerous, and which goes off of
itself, is perhaps the same with the felegra of the
Milanese, and the mal de la Rosa of the Asturias.
I have heard it asserted that it attacked strangers
more commonly than the natives of the country ;
notwithstanding, out of four Europeans which
