16。 Heat produces the following bad effects on those who use it
frequently： enervation of the fleshy parts； impotence of the nerves；
torpor of the understanding； hemorrhages； deliquia； and； along with
these； death。
17。 Cold induces convulsions； tetanus； mortification； and febrile
rigors。
18。 Cold is inimical to the bones； the teeth； the nerves； the brain；
and the spinal marrow； but heat is beneficial。
19。 Such parts as have been congealed should be heated； except where
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。
22。 Heat is suppurative； but not in all kinds of sores； but when
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
especially in wounds of the head； and in mortifications and ulcers
from cold； in herpes exedens； of the anus； the privy parts； the
womb； the bladder； in all these cases heat is agreeable； and brings
matters to a crisis； but cold is prejudicial； and does mischief。
23。 Cold water is to be applied in the following cases； when there
is a hemorrhage； or when it is expected； but not applied to the
spot； but around the spot whence the blood flows； and in inflammations
and inflammatory affections； inclining to a red and subsaguineous
color； and consisting of fresh blood； in these cases it is to be
applied but it occasions mortification in old cases； and in erysipelas
not attended with ulceration； as it proves injurious to erysipelas
when ulcerated。
24。 Cold things； such as snow and ice； are inimical to the chest；
being provocative of coughs； of discharges of blood； and of catarrhs。
25。 Swellings and pains in the joints； ulceration； those of a
gouty nature； and sprains； are generally improved by a copious
affusion of cold water； which reduces the swelling； and removes the
pain； for a moderate degree of numbness removes pain。
26。 The lightest water is that which is quickly heated and quickly
cooled。
27。 When persons have intense thirst； it is a good thing if they can
sleep off the desire of drinking。
28。 Fumigation with aromatics promotes menstruation； and would be
useful in many other cases； if it did not occasion heaviness of the
head。
29。 Women in a state of pregnancy may be purged； if there be any
urgent necessity （or； if the humors be in a state of orgasm？）； from
the fourth to the seventh month； but less so in the latter case。 In
the first and last periods it must be avoided。
30。 It proves fatal to a woman in a state of pregnancy； if she be
seized with any of the acute diseases。
31。 If a woman with child be bled； she will have an abortion； and
this will be the more likely to happen； the larger the foetus。
32。 Haemoptysis in a woman is removed by an eruption of the menses。
33。 In a woman when there is a stoppage the menses； a discharge of
blood from the nose is good。
34。 When a pregnant woman has a violent diarrhoea； there is danger
of her miscarrying。
35。 Sneezing occurring to a woman affected with hysterics； and in
difficult labor； is a good symptom。
36。 When the menstrual discharge is of a bad color and irregular； it
indicates that the woman stands in need of purging。
37。 In a pregnant woman； if the breasts suddenly lose their
fullness； she has a miscarriage。
38。 If； in a woman pregnant with twins； either of her breasts lose
its fullness； she will part with one of her children； and if it be the
right breast which becomes slender； it will be the male child； or if
the left； the female。
39。 If a woman who is not with child； nor has brought forth； have
milk； her menses are obstructed。
40。 In women； blood collected in the breasts indicates madness。
41。 If you wish to ascertain if a woman be with child； give her
hydromel to drink when she is going to sleep； and has not taken
supper； and if she be seized with tormina in the belly； she is with
child； but otherwise she is not pregnant。
42。 A woman with child； if it be a male； has a good color； but if a
female； she has a bad color。
43。 If erysipelas of the womb seize a woman with child； it will
probably prove fatal。
44。 Women who are very lean； have miscarriages when they prove
with child； until they get into better condition。
45。 When women； in a moderate condition of body； miscarry in the
second or third month； without any obvious cause； their cotyledones
are filled with mucosity； and cannot support the weight of the foetus；
but are broken asunder。

in them it is because the epiploon （fat？） blocks up the mouth of the
womb； and until it be reduced； they do not conceive。
