  CASE V。 In Larissa; a man; who was bald; suddenly was seized with



pain in the right thigh; none of the things which were administered



did him any good。 On the first day; fever acute; of the ardent type;



not agitated; but the pains persisted。 On the second; the pains in the



thigh abated; but the fever increased; somewhat tossed about; did



not sleep; extremities cold; passed a large quantity of urine; not



of a good character。 On the third; the pain of the thigh ceased;

continual type; with pain; much thirst; nausea; could not retain his



drink; somewhat swelled about the spleen; with heaviness of the



head。 On the first day; had hemorrhage from the left nostril; but

flushing; was chilly; and tossed about。 On the seventh; in the same



state; urine thin;but of a good color; no disturbance about the



bowels。 On the eighth; deafness; acute fever; insomnolency; nausea;



rigors; became collected; urine the same。 On the ninth; in the same

the fourteenth; disorder of the intellect; the fever abated。 On the

better; and on the following days; nausea; deafness; and



incoherence。 On the twentieth; pain of the feet; deafness and delirium



left her; a small hemorrhage from the nose; sweat; apyrexia。 On the



twenty…fourth; the fever returned; deafness again; pain of the feet



remained; incoherence。 On the twenty…seventh; had a copious sweat;



apyrexia; the deafness left her; the pain of her feet partly remained;



in other respects had a complete crisis。

of health on the twentieth day was the result of the evacuation of



urine。

eleventh; the fever diminished; slight sweats about the head;



coughs; with more liquid sputa; he was relieved。 On the twentieth;

expectorations were not good。 On the twenty…seventh the fever



relapsed; he coughed; and brought up much concocted sputa: sediment in



the urine copious and white; he became free of thirst; and the



respiration was good。 On the thirty…fourth; sweated all over; apyrexia



general crisis。

and following days; much delirium。 On the thirtieth; copious



hemorrhage from the nose; and became more collected; deafness



continued; but less; the fever diminished; on the following days;



frequent hemorrhages; at short intervals。 About the sixtieth; the



hemorrhages ceased; but violent pain of the hip…joint; and increase of



fever。 Not long afterwards; pains of all the inferior rule; that



either the fever and deafness increased; or; pains of the inferior

way; without leaving any behind; for the urine was of a good color;



and had a copious sediment; while the delirium became less。 About



the hundredth day; disorder of the bowels; with copious and bilious



evacuations; and these continued for a considerable time; and again



assumed the dysenteric form with pain; but relief of all the other



complaints。 On the whole; the fevers went off; and the deafness

pains were greater on the even days。 On the twentieth; the urine white



and thick; but when allowed to stand had no sediment; much sweat;

hot; with the same pains; rigor; thirst; slightly incoherent。 On the



twenty…fourth; urine copious; white; with an abundant sediment; a
