[p. 139] acute,
continual type, with pain; much thirst, nausea, could not retain his
drink; somewhat swelled about the spleen, with heaviness of the head.
On the first day, had hemorrhage from the left nostril, but still
the fever became more violent; passed much muddy, white urine, which
when allowed to stand did not subside. On the second day, all the
symptoms were exacerbated, yet the urine was thick, and more inclined
to have a sediment; the nausea less; he slept. On the third, fever
was milder; abundance of urine, which was concocted, and had a copious
sediment; passed a quiet night. On the fourth, had a copious and warm
sweat all over about noon; was free of fever, had a crisis, no relapse.
An acute affection.
Case 7
In Abdera, the young woman who was lodged in the Sacred Walk
was seized with an ardent fever. She was thirsty, and could not sleep;
had menstruation for the first time. On the sixth, much nausea, flushing,
was chilly, and tossed about. On the seventh, in the same state; urine
thin,but of a good color; no disturbance about the bowels. On the
eighth, deafness, acute fever, insomnolency, nausea, rigors, became
collected; urine the same. On the ninth, in the same state, and also
on the following days; thus the deafness persisted. On the fourteenth,
disorder of the intellect; the fever abated. On the seventeenth, a
copious hemorrhage from the nose; the deafness slightly better; and
on the following days, nausea, deafness, and incoherence. On the twentieth,
pain of the feet; deafness and delirium left her; a small hemorrhage
from the nose; sweat, apyrexia. On the twenty-fourth, the fever returned,
deafness again; pain of the feet remained; incoherence. On the twenty-seventh,
had a copious sweat, apyrexia; the deafness left her; the pain of
her feet partly remained; in other respects had a complete crisis.
Explanation of the characters. It is probable that the restoration
of health on the twentieth day was the result of the evacuation of
urine.

Gates, was seized with an acute fever; continued pain of the right side; dry cough,
