CASE XII。 In Larissa； a young unmarried woman was seized with a
fever of the acute and ardent type； insomnolency； thirst； tongue sooty
and dry； urine of a good color； but thin。 On the second； in an
uneasy state； did not sleep。 On the third； alvine discharges
copious； watery； and greenish； and on the following days passed such
with relief。 On the fourth； passed a small quantity of thin urine；
having substances floating towards its surface； which did not subside；
was delirious towards night。 On the sixth； a great hemorrhage from the
nose； a chill； with a copious and hot sweat all over； apyrexia； had
a crisis。 In the fever； and when it had passed the crisis； the
menses took place for the first time； for she was a young woman。
Throughout she was oppressed with nausea； and rigors； redness of the
face； pain of the eyes； heaviness of the head； she had no relapse； but
the fever came to a crisis。 The pains were on the even days。
CASE XIII。 Apollonius； in Abdera； bore up （under the fever？） for
some time； without betaking himself to bed。 His viscera were enlarged；
and for a considerable time there was a constant pain about the liver；
and then he became affected with jaundice； he was flatulent； and of
a whitish complexion。 Having eaten beef； and drunk unseasonably； he
became a little heated at first； and betook himself to bed； and having
used large quantities of milk； that of goats and sheep； and both
boiled and raw； with a bad diet otherwise； great mischief was
occasioned by all these things； for the fever was exacerbated； and
of the food taken scarcely any portion worth mentioning was passed
from the bowels； the urine was thin and scanty； no sleep；
troublesome meteorism； much thirst； disposition to coma； painful
swelling of the right hypochondrium； extremities altogether coldish；
slight incoherence； forgetfulness of everything he said； he was beside
himself。 About the fourteenth day after he betook himself to bed；
had a rigor； became heated； and was seized with furious delirium； loud
cries； much talking； again composed； and then coma came on； afterwards
the bowels disordered； with copious； bilious； unmixed； and
undigested stools； urine black； scanty； and thin； much restlessness；
alvine evacuations of varied characters； either black； scanty； and
verdigrisgreen； or fatty； undigested； and acrid； and at times the
dejections resembled milk。 About the twenty…fourth； enjoyed a calm；
other matters in the same state； became somewhat collected； remembered
nothing that had happened since he was confined to bed； immediately
afterwards became delirious； every symptom rapidly getting worn。 About
the thirtieth； acute fever； stools copious and thin； was delirious；
extremities cold； loss of speech。 On the thirty…fourth he died。 In
this case； as far as I saw； the bowels were disordered； urine thin and
black； disposition to coma； insomnolency； extremities cold；
delirious throughout。 Phrenitis。
CASE XIV。 In Cyzicus； a woman who had brought forth twin
daughters； after a difficult labor； and in whom the lochial
discharge was insufficient； at first was seized with an acute fever；
attended with chills； heaviness of the head and neck； with pain；
insomnolency from the commencement； she was silent； sullen； and
disobedient； urine thin； and devoid of color； thirst； nausea for the
most part； bowels irregularly disordered； and again constipated。 On
the sixth； towards night； talked much incoherently； had no sleep。
About the eleventh day was seized with wild delirium； and again became
collected； urine black； thin； and again deficient； and of an oily
appearance； copious； thin； and disordered evacuations from the bowels。
On the fourteenth； frequent convulsions；extremities cold； not in
anywise collected； suppression of urine。 On the sixteenth loss of
speech。 On the seventeenth； she died。 Phrenitis。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that death was caused；
on the seventeenth day； by the affection of the brain consequent
upon her accouchement。
CASE XV。 In Thasus； the wife of Dealces； who was lodged upon the
Plain； from sorrow was seized with an acute fever； attended with
chills。 From first to last she wrapped herself up in her bedclothes；
still silent； she fumbled； picked； bored； and gathered hairs （from
them）； tears； and again laughter； no sleep； bowels irritable； but
passed nothing； when directed； drank a little； urine thin and
scanty； to the touch of the hand the fever was slight； coldness of the
extremities。 On the ninth； talked much incoherently； and again
became composed and silent。 On the fourteenth； breathing rare；
large； at intervals； and again hurried respiration。 On the
sixteenth； looseness of the bowels from a stimulant clyster；
afterwards she passed her drink； nor could retain anything； for she
was completely insensible； skin parched and tense。 On the twentieth；
much talk； and again became composed； loss of speech； respiration
hurried。 On the twenty…first she died。 Her respiration throughout
was rare and large； she was totally insensible； always wrapped up in
her bedclothes； either much talk； or completely silent throughout。
Phrenitis。
CASE XVI。 In Meliboea； a young man having become heated by
drinking and much venery； was confined to bed； he was affected with
rigors and nausea； insomnolency and absence of thirst。 On the first
day much faeces passed from the bowels along with a copious flux；
and on the following days he passed many watery stools of a green
color； urine thin； scanty； and deficient in color； respiration rare；
large； at long intervals； softish distention of the hypochondrium；
of an oblong form； on both sides； continued palpitation in the
epigastric region throughout； passed urine of an oily appearance。 On
the tenth； he had calm delirium； for he was naturally of an orderly
and quiet disposition； skin parched and tense； dejections either
copious and thin； or bilious and fatty。 On the fourteenth； all the
symptoms were exacerbated； he became delirious； and talked much
incoherently。 On the twentieth； wild delirium； On the twentieth；
wild delirium； jactitation； passed no urine； small drinks were
retained。 On the twenty…fourth he died。 Phrenitis。
