Case 12
In Larissa, a young unmarried woman was seized with a fever
of the acute and ardent type; insomnolency, thirst; tongue sooty and
dry; urine of a good color, but thin. On the second, in an uneasy
state, did not sleep. On the third, alvine discharges copious, watery,
and greenish, and on the following days passed such with relief. On
the fourth, passed a small quantity of thin urine, having substances
floating towards its surface, which did not subside; was delirious
towards night. On the sixth, a great hemorrhage from the nose; a chill,
with a copious and hot sweat all over; apyrexia, had a crisis. In
the fever, and when it had passed the crisis, the menses took place
for the first time, for she was a young woman. Throughout she was
oppressed with nausea, and rigors; redness of the face; pain of the
eyes; heaviness of the head; she had no relapse, but the fever came
to a crisis. The pains were on the even days.
