evacuations, and these continued for a considerable time, and again

assumed the dysenteric form with pain; but relief of all the other

complaints. On the whole, the fevers went off, and the deafness

ceased. On the hundred and twentieth day, had a complete crisis.

Ardent fever.

CASE X. In Abdera, Nicodemus was seized with fever from venery and

drinking. At the commencement he was troubled with nausea and

cardialgia; thirsty, tongue was parched; urine thin and dark. On the

second day, the fever exacerbated; he was troubled with rigors and

nausea; had no sleep; vomited yellow bile; urine the same; passed a

quiet night, and slept. On the third, a general remission;

amelioration; but about sunset felt again somewhat uncomfortable;

passed an uneasy night. On the fourth, rigor, much fever, general

pains; urine thin, with substances floating in it; again a quiet

night. On the fifth, all the symptoms remained, but there was an

amelioration. On the sixth, some general pains; substances floating in

the urine; very incoherent. On the seventh, better. On the eighth, all

the other symptoms abated. On the tenth, and following days, there

were pains, but all less; in this case throughout, the paroxysms and

pains were greater on the even days. On the twentieth, the urine white

and thick, but when allowed to stand had no sediment; much sweat;

seemed to be free from fever; but again in the evening he became

hot, with the same pains, rigor, thirst, slightly incoherent. On the

crisis.

owing to the bilious evacuations and the sweats.
