55. Women with child who are seized with fevers, and who are greatly
emaciated, without any (other?) obvious cause, have difficult and
dangerous labors, and if they miscarry, they are in danger.

56. In the female flux (immoderate menstruation?), if convulsion and
deliquium come on, it is bad.

57. When the menses are excessive, diseases take place, and when the
menses are stopped, diseases from the uterus take place.

58. Strangury supervenes upon inflammation of the rectum, and of the
womb, and strangury supervenes upon suppuration of the kidney, and
hiccup upon inflammation of the liver.

59. If a woman do not conceive, and wish to ascertain whether she
can conceive, having wrapped her up in blankets, fumigate below, and
if it appear that the scent passes through the body to the nostrils
and mouth, know that of herself she is not unfruitful.

60. If woman with a child have her courses, it is impossible that
the child can be healthy.

61. If a woman's courses be suppressed, and neither rigor nor
fever has followed, but she has been affected with nausea, you may
reckon her to be with child.

women whose uterus is in an intermediate state between these
temperaments prove fertile.

63. And in like manner with respect to males; for either, owing to
the laxity of the body, the pneuma is dissipated outwardly, so as

of blood; but it is suitable in phthisical cases, when not attended
with very much fever; it is also to be given in fevers of a chronic
and weak nature, when none of the aforementioned symptoms are present,
and the patients are excessively emaciated.

65. When swellings appear on wounds, such cases are not likely to be
attacked either with convulsions, or delirium, but when these
disappear suddenly, if situated behind, spasms and tetanus
supervene, and if before, mania, acute pains of the sides, or
suppurations, or dysentery, if the swellings be rather red.

66. When no swelling appears on severe and bad wounds, it is a great
