30. Diseases attended with paroxysms, if at the same hour that the
fever leaves it return again next day, are of difficult crisis.

31. In febrile diseases attended with a sense of lassitude, deposits
form about the joints, and especially those of the jaws.

32. In convalescents from diseases, if any part be pained, there
deposits are formed.

33. But if any part be in a painful state previous to the illness,
there the disease fixes.

34. If a person laboring under a fever, without any swelling in
the fauces, be seized with a sense of suffocation suddenly, it is a
mortal symptom.

35. If in a person with fever, the become suddenly distorted, and he
cannot swallow unless with difficulty, although no swelling be
present, it is a mortal symptom.

36. Sweats, in febrile diseases, are favorable, if they set in on
the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth,
twenty-first, twenty-seventh, and thirty-fourth day, for these
sweats prove a crisis to the disease; but sweats not occurring thus,
indicate pain, a protracted disease, and relapses.

37. Cold sweats occurring with an acute fever, indicate death; and
along with a milder one, a protracted disease.

38. And in whatever part of the body there is a sweat, it shows that
the disease is seated there.

39. And in whatever part of the body heat or cold is seated, there
is disease.

40. And wherever there are changes in the whole body, and if the
body be alternately cold and hot, or if one color succeed another,
this indicates a protracted disease.

41. A copious sweat after sleep occuring without any manifest cause,
indicates that the body is using too much food. But if it occur when
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.

44. In cases attended with protracted fevers, tubercles (phymata) or
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
