Of The Epidemics   

the delirium continued. On the seventh, he became cold, thirsty, was

disordered in mind; at night recovered his senses; slept. On the

eighth, was feverish; the spleen diminished in size; quite

collected; had pain at first about the groin, on the same side as

the spleen; had pains in both legs; night comfortable; urine better

colored, had a scanty sediment. On the ninth, sweated; the crisis took

place; fever remitted. On the fifth day afterwards, fever relapsed,

spleen immediately became swollen; acute fever; deafness again. On the

third day after the relapse, the spleen diminished; deafness less;

legs painful; sweated during the night; crisis took place on the

seventeenth day; had no disorder of the senses during the relapse.

CASE IV. In Thasus, the wife of Philinus, having been delivered of a

daughter, the discharge being natural, and other matters going on

mildly, on the fourteenth day after delivery was seized with fever,

attended with rigor; was pained at first in the cardiac region of

the stomach and right hypochondrium; pain in the genital organs;

lochial discharge ceased. Upon the application of a pessary all

these symptoms were alleviated; pains of the head, neck, and loins

remained; no sleep; extremities cold; thirst; bowels in a hot state;

stools scanty; urine thin, and colorless at first. On the sixth,

towards night, senses much disordered, but again were restored. On the

seventh, thirsty; the evacuations bilious, and high colored. On the

eighth, had a rigor; acute fever; much spasm, with pain; talked

much, incoherently; upon the application of a suppository, rose to

stool, and passed copious dejections, with a bilious flux; no sleep.

On the ninth, spasms. On the tenth, slightly recollected. On the

eleventh, slept; had perfect recollection, but again immediately

wandered; passed a large quantity of urine with spasms, (the

attendants seldom putting her in mind), it was thick, white, like

urine which has been shaken after it has stood for a considerable time

until it has subsided, but it had no sediment; in color and

consistence, the urine resembled that of cattle, as far as I observed.
