one is not taking food； it indicates that evacuation is required。
42。 A copious sweat； whether hot or cold； flowing continuously；
indicates； the cold a greater； and the hot a lesser disease。
43。 Fevers； not of the intermittent type； which are exacerbated on
the third day； are dangerous； but if they intermit in any form； this
indicates that they are not dangerous。

pains occur about the joints。
45。 When tubercles （phymata） or pains attack the joints after
fevers； such persons are using too much food。
46。 If in a fever not of the intermittent type a rigor seize a
person already much debilitated； it is mortal。
47。 In fevers not of the intermittent type； expectorations which are
livid bloody； fetid and bilious； are all bad； but if evacuated
properly； they are favorable。 So it is with the alvine evacuations and
the urine。 But if none of the proper excretions take place by these
channels； it is bad。
48。 In fevers not of the intermittent type； if the external parts be
cold； but the internal be burnt up； and if there be thirst； it is a
mortal symptom。
49。 In a fever not of the intermittent type； if a lip； an
eye…brow； an eye； or the nose； be distorted； or if there be loss of
sight or of hearing； and the patient be in a weak state…whatever of
these symptoms occur； death is at hand。
50。 Apostemes in fevers which are not resolved at the first
crisis； indicate a protracted disease。
51。 When in a fever not of the intermittent type dyspnoea and
delirium come on； the case is mortal。
52。 When persons in fevers； or in other illnesses； shed tears
voluntarily； it is nothing out of place； but when they shed tears

53。 In whatever cases of fever very viscid concretions form about
the teeth； the fevers turn out to be particularly strong。
54。 In whatever case of ardent fever dry coughs of a tickling nature
with slight expectoration are long protracted； there is usually not
much thirst。
55。 All fevers complicated with buboes are bad； except ephemerals。
56。 Sweat supervening in a case of the fever ceasing； is bad； for
the disease is protracted； and it indicates more copious humors。
57。 Fever supervening in a case of confirmed spasm； or of tetanus；
removes the disease。
58。 A rigor supervening in a case of ardent fever； produces
resolution of it。
59。 A true tertian comes to a crisis in seven periods at furthest。
60。 When in fevers there is deafness； if blood run from the
nostrils； or the bowels become disordered； it carries off the disease。
61。 In a febrile complaint； if the fever do not leave on the odd
days； it relapses。
62。 When jaundice supervenes in fevers before the seventh day； it
a bad symptom； unless there be watery discharges from the bowels。
63。 In whatever cases of fever rigors occur during the day； the
fevers come to a resolution during the day。
64。 When in cases of fever jaundice occurs on the seventh； the
ninth； the eleventh； or the fourteenth day； it is a good symptom；
provided the hypochondriac region be not hard。 Otherwise it is not a
good symptom。

68。 In fevers； a stoppage of the respiration is a bad symptom； for
it indicates convulsions。
69。 When the urine is thick； grumoss； and scanty in cases not free
from fever a copious discharge of thinner urine proves beneficial。
Such a discharge more commonly takes place when the urine has had a
sediment from the first； or soon after the commencement。
70。 When in fevers the urine is turbid； like that of a beast of
burden； in such a case there either is or will be headache。
71。 In cases which come to a crisis on the seventh day； the urine
has a red nubecula on the fourth day； and the other symptoms
accordingly。
72。 When the urine is transparent and white； it is bad； it appears
principally in cases of phrenitis。
73。 When the hypochondriac region is affected with meteorism and
borborygmi； should pain of the loins supervene； the bowels get into
a loose and watery state； unless there be an eruption of flatus or a
copious evacuation of urine。 These things occur in fevers。
74。 When there is reason to expect that an abscess will form in
joints； the abscess is carried off by a copious discharge of urine；
which is thick； and becomes white； like what begins to form in certain
cases of quartan fever； attended with a sense of lassitude。 It is also
speedily carried off by a hemorrhage from the nose。

along with thick urine； there is scabies of the bladder。
78。 In those cases where there is a spontaneous discharge of
bloody urine； it indicates rupture of a small vein in the kidneys。
79。 In those cases where there is a sandy sediment in the urine；

strangury； and if a pain seize the hypogastric region and perineum；
the parts about the bladder are affected。
81。 If a patient pass blood； pus； and scales； in the urine； and if
it have a heavy smell； ulceration of the bladder is indicated。
82。 When tubercles form in the urethra； if these suppurate and
burst； there is relief。

6。 Such persons as are seized with tetanus die within four days；
or if they pass these they recover。

17。 Cold induces convulsions； tetanus； mortification； and febrile
rigors。
18。 Cold is inimical to the bones； the teeth； the nerves； the brain；

there either is a hemorrhage； or one is expected。
20。 Cold pinches ulcers； hardens the skin； occasions pain which does
not end in suppuration； blackens； produces febrile rigors；
convulsions； and tetanus。
21。 In the case of a muscular youth having tetanus without a
wound； during the midst of summer； it sometimes happens that the
allusion of a large quantity of cold water recalls the heat。 Heat
relieves these diseases。

it is； it furnishes the greatest test of their being free from danger。
It softens the skin； makes it thin； removes pain； soothes rigor；
convulsions； and tetanus。 It removes affections of the head； and
heaviness of it。 It is particularly efficacious in fractures of the
bones； especially of those which have been exposed； and most
