Dismal Scenes

Many of the infected were growing increasingly mad, crazy, with the disease. For there was no cure or medicine to make it better. People were just dyeing, painfully all over. Many would scream from their windows and shout things about death since they knew it was going to happen and soon. People were taking extreme measures such as throwing themselves from buildings, shooting themselves, killing nearby bystanders, and running around neurotically trying to reach water. The physicians and surgeons did not know how to treat this disease, they even seemed to torture the infected to try and figure out a solution. The Surgeons then figured that if they could bring the swellings up and digest the patient that the patient generally could recover. Others still could not be helped and broke out with apoplexies and epilepsies and later would most likely be dead soon after. Some who were infected were unaware and they just seemed to grow faint and die as though they were unaware of it, somewhat peacefully it seems.
