became a little heated at first, and betook himself to bed, and having

used large quantities of milk, that of goats and sheep, and both

boiled and raw, with a bad diet otherwise, great mischief was

occasioned by all these things; for the fever was exacerbated, and

of the food taken scarcely any portion worth mentioning was passed

from the bowels; the urine was thin and scanty; no sleep;

troublesome meteorism; much thirst; disposition to coma; painful

swelling of the right hypochondrium; extremities altogether coldish;

slight incoherence, forgetfulness of everything he said; he was beside

himself. About the fourteenth day after he betook himself to bed,

had a rigor, became heated, and was seized with furious delirium; loud

cries, much talking, again composed, and then coma came on; afterwards

the bowels disordered, with copious, bilious, unmixed, and

undigested stools; urine black, scanty, and thin; much restlessness;

alvine evacuations of varied characters, either black, scanty, and

verdigrisgreen, or fatty, undigested, and acrid; and at times the

dejections resembled milk. About the twenty-fourth, enjoyed a calm;

other matters in the same state; became somewhat collected; remembered

nothing that had happened since he was confined to bed; immediately

afterwards became delirious; every symptom rapidly getting worn. About

the thirtieth, acute fever; stools copious and thin; was delirious;

extremities cold; loss of speech. On the thirty-fourth he died. In

this case, as far as I saw, the bowels were disordered; urine thin and

black; disposition to coma; insomnolency; extremities cold;

delirious throughout. Phrenitis.

CASE XIV. In Cyzicus, a woman who had brought forth twin

daughters, after a difficult labor, and in whom the lochial

discharge was insufficient, at first was seized with an acute fever,

attended with chills; heaviness of the head and neck, with pain;

insomnolency from the commencement; she was silent, sullen, and

disobedient; urine thin, and devoid of color; thirst, nausea for the

most part; bowels irregularly disordered, and again constipated. On
