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；

CASE VI。 In Abdera； Pericles was seized with a fever of the acute；
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
still the fever became more violent； passed much muddy； white urine；
which when allowed to stand did not subside。 On the second day； all
the symptoms were exacerbated； yet the urine was thick； and more
inclined to have a sediment； the nausea less； he slept。 On the
third； fever was milder； abundance of urine； which was concocted；
and had a copious sediment； passed a quiet night。 On the fourth； had a
copious and warm sweat all over about noon； was free of fever； had a
crisis； no relapse。 An acute affection。

Walk was seized with an ardent fever。 She was thirsty； and could not
sleep； had menstruation for the first time。 On the sixth； much nausea；
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
state； and also on the following days； thus the deafness persisted。 On
the fourteenth； disorder of the intellect； the fever abated。 On the
seventeenth； a copious hemorrhage from the nose； the deafness slightly
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。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that the restoration
of health on the twentieth day was the result of the evacuation of
urine。
CASE VIII。 In Abdera； Anaxion； who was lodged near the with Thracian
Gates； was seized with an acute fever； pain of the right dry cough；
without expectoration during the first days； thirst； insomnolency；
urine well colored； copious； and thin。 On the sixth； delirious； no
relief from the warm applications。 On the seventh； in a painful state；
for the fever while the pains did not abate； and the cough was
troublesome； and attended with dyspnoea。 On the eighth； I opened a
vein at the elbow； and much blood； of a proper character； flowed；
the pains were abated； but the dry coughs continued。 On the
eleventh； the fever diminished； slight sweats about the head；
coughs； with more liquid sputa； he was relieved。 On the twentieth；
sweat； apyrexia； but after the crisis he was thirsty； and the
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。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that the evacuation of
the sputa brought about the recovery on the thirty…fourth day。
CASE IX。 In Abdera； Heropythus； while still on foot； had pain in the
head； and not long afterwards he took to bed； he lived near the High
Street。 Was seized with acute fever of the ardent type； vomitings at
first of much bilious matter； thirst； great restlessness； urine
thin； black； substances sometimes floating high in it； and sometimes
not； passed the night in a painful state； paroxysms of the fever
diversified； and for the most part irregular。 About the fourteenth
day； deafness； the fever increased； urine the same。 On the twentieth
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
parts were increased。 About the eightieth day； all the complaints gave
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
ceased。 On the hundred and twentieth day； had a complete crisis。
Ardent fever。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that the bilious
discharge brought about the recovery on the hundred and twentieth day。

second day； the fever exacerbated； he was troubled with rigors and
nausea； had no sleep； vomited yellow bile； urine the same； passed a
quiet night； and slept。 On the third； a general remission；
amelioration； but about sunset felt again somewhat uncomfortable；
passed an uneasy night。 On the fourth； rigor； much fever； general
pains； urine thin； with substances floating in it； again a quiet
night。 On the fifth； all the symptoms remained； but there was an
amelioration。 On the sixth； some general pains； substances floating in
the urine； very incoherent。 On the seventh； better。 On the eighth； all
the other symptoms abated。 On the tenth； and following days； there
were pains； but all less； in this case throughout； the paroxysms and
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；
seemed to be free from fever； but again in the evening he became
hot； with the same pains； rigor； thirst； slightly incoherent。 On the
twenty…fourth； urine copious； white； with an abundant sediment； a
copious and warm sweat all over； apyrexia； the fever came to its
crisis。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that the cure was
owing to the bilious evacuations and the sweats。
