(1) There was plague, too, ague (probably a malarial infection), and various fevers.(2) ‘We have just moved our camp out of the cypress swamp where the men were fast succumbing to the malaria ague and fevers at an astonishing rate,’ recorded Capt. Henry Ankey, 4th Iowa Infantry.(3) Although he used the term ague, true malaria cannot necessarily be inferred because ague included any number of short-lived illnesses with chills and fever.(4) A list of patients admitted during the hospital's first years shows that reasons for admission included hysterick disorders, bloody flux, tertian ague , and melancholy.(5) He was elected MP for Hull in 1659 but, despite being moderately active in Parliament, was ineffective in the country party, though he continued to watch his constituents' interests until death from inappropriate treatment for an ague .(6) Sydenham also advocated that specific remedies could be applied to each such disease, his favourite example being the prescription of Peruvian bark for intermittent fever or ague .(7) Yesterday we were alarmed with the Queen's being ill: she had an aguish and feverish fit; and you never saw such countenances as we all had, such dismal melancholy.(8) The first three years of George II's reign, which began in 1727, were afflicted by successive waves of smallpox and influenza-like infections, imprecisely and variously described by contemporaries as agues and fevers.(9) I am now at Wilbye & am in great distresse through feare of beinge sick for I feele myselfe very aguish & feverish & know not what.(10) He is more self-indulgent about his agues , fevers, constipation, and other ills, and goes into detail about the remedies for same.(11) Of course, while the laws of nature remain as they are, you can no more promise future immunity to convalescents with an agued frame who remain in malarious regions, than you can promise the anxious sailor that future winds will not again create waves.(12) "I heard to my surprise the other day from Swan, whose son, it seems, was doing some work at Melcombe this spring (making a greenhouse, I think), that Mrs. Melcombe wintered at Mentone, partly on her boy's account, for he had a feverish or aguish illness at Venice, and she was advised not to bring him to England."(13) The seaboard of Capernaum in which Peter dwelt is said by travelers to be a peculiarly damp, marshy, aguish , feverish place.(14) Your enemy will on the instant feel a certain inexpressible and cutting anguish of the heart, together with an agued chilliness and failure throughout the body.(15) At Wesel, in the rear of all this travelling and excitement, Friedrich falls unwell; breaks down there into an aguish feverish distemper, which, for several months after, impeded his movements, would he have yielded to it.(16) They were carried off by malaria, cholera, typhus, heat stroke, agues and tropical distempers, and drink, lots of drink.
