Sect。 II
CASE I。 In Thasus; Philistes had headache of long continuance; and
sometimes was confined to bed; with a tendency to deep sleep; having
been seized with continual fevers from drinking; the pain was

faeces passed from the bowels; passed the night uncomfortably。 On

semen floating in it; delirium ferox about mid…day。 On the third; in
an uncomfortable state。 On the fourth; convulsions; all the symptoms
exacerbated。 On the fifth; early in the morning; died。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that the death of
the patient on the fifth day is to be attributed to a phrenitis;
with unfavorable evacuations。
CASE II。 Charion; who was lodged at the house of Demaenetus;
contracted a fever from drinking。 Immediately he had a painful
heaviness of the head; did not sleep; bowels disordered; with thin and

heated; some thirst; urine thin; with cloudy substances floating in
it; slight wandering in his mind。 About the nineteenth; free of fever;
had a pain in his neck; a sediment in the urine。 Had a complete crisis
on the twentieth。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that the patient was
cured in twenty days; by the abundance of bilious stools and urine。
CASE III。 The daughter of Euryanax; a maid; was taken ill of
fever。 She was free of thirst throughout; but had no relish for
food。 Alvine discharges small; urine thin; scanty; not well colored。
In the beginning of the fever; had a pain about the nates。 On the
sixth day; was free of fever; did not sweat; had a crisis; the
complaint about the nates came to a small suppuration; and burst at
the crisis。 After the crisis; on the seventh day; had a rigor;
became slightly heated; sweated。 On the eighth day after the rigor;
had an inconsiderable rigor; the extremities cold ever after。 About
the tenth day; after a sweat which came on; she became delirious;
and again immediately afterwards was collected; these symptoms were
said to have been brought on by eating grapes。 After an intermission
of the twelfth day; she again talked much incoherently; her bowels
disordered with bilious; scanty; unmixed; thin; acrid discharges;

reddish and hard swelling on both sides of the neck and chest;
extremities cold and livid; and livid; respiration elevated; the drink
returned by the nose; she could not swallow; alvine and urinary
discharges suppressed。 On the fourth; all of the symptoms were
exacerbated。 On the fifth she died of the quinsy。
Explanation of the characters。 It is probable that the cause of
death on the sixth day was the suppression of the discharges。

with fever from fatigue; labor; and running out of season。 On the
first day; the bowels disordered; with bilious; thin; and copious
