      • 1865, William J. Cummins, “Remarks on Scarlatina”, in The Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science[1], volume 39, number 1, page 14:
        The train of symptoms which mark the typhoid variety of scarlatina generally begin to decline about the tenth or twelfth day, when the case often lapses into a condition similar to rheumatic fever, without its characteristic diaphoreses.
