Aphorisms

SECTION IV

 [p. 314]tom, provided the hypochondriac region be not hard. Otherwise it is not a good symptom.


Part 65

A strong heat about the stomach and cardialgia are bad symptoms in fevers.


Part 66

In acute fevers, spasms, and strong pains about the bowels are bad symptoms.


Part 67

In fevers, frights after sleep, or convulsions, are a bad symptom.


Part 68

In fevers, a stoppage of the respiration is a bad symptom, for it indicates convulsions.


Part 68

When the urine is thick, grumoss, and scanty in cases not free from fever a copious discharge of thinner urine proves beneficial. Such a discharge more commonly takes place when the urine has had a sediment from the first, or soon after the commencement.


Part 70

When in fevers the urine is turbid, like that of a beast of burden, in such a case there either is or will be headache.


Part 71

In cases which come to a crisis on the seventh day, the urine has a red nubecula on the fourth day, and the other symptoms accordingly.


Part 72

When the urine is transparent and white, it is bad; it appears principally in cases of phrenitis.


Part 73

When the hypochondriac region is affected with meteorism and borborygmi, should pain of the loins supervene, the bowels get into a loose and watery state, unless there be an eruption of flatus or a copious evacuation of urine. These things occur in fevers.


Part 74

When there is reason to expect that an abscess will form in joints, the abscess is carried off by a copious discharge of urine, which is thick, and becomes white, like what begins to form in certain cases of quartan fever, attended with a sense of lassitude. It is also speedily carried off by a hemorrhage from the nose.


Part 75

Blood or pus in the urine indicates ulceration either of the kidneys or of the bladder.


Part 76

When small fleshy substances like hairs are discharged along with thick urine, these substances come from the kidneys.
