in　like　manner。　Such；　then；　as　are　painful；　hard；　and　large；
  indicate　danger　of　speedy　death；　but　such　as　are　soft；　free　of　pain；
  and　yield　when　pressed　with　the　finger；　are　more　chronic　than　these。
  Swellings　in　the　belly　less　frequently　form　abscesses　than　those　in
  the　hypochondrium；　and　seldomest　of　all；　those　below　the　navel　are
  converted　into　suppuration；　but　you　may　rather　expect　a　hemorrhage
  from　the　upper　parts。　But　the　suppuration　of　all　protracted
  swellings　about　these　parts　is　to　be　anticipated。　The　collections　of
  matter　there　are　to　be　thus　judged　of：　such　as　are　determined　outwards
  are　the　best　when　they　are　small；　when　they　protrude　very　much；　and
  swell　to　a　point；　such　as　are　large　and　broad；　and　which　do　not
  swell　out　to　a　sharp　point；　are　the　worst。　Of　such　as　break
  internally；　the　best　are　those　which　have　no　external　communication；
  but　are　covered　and　indolent；　and　when　the　whole　place　is　free　from
  discoloration。　That　pus　is　best　which　is　white；　homogeneous；　smooth；
  and　not　at　all　fetid；　the　contrary　to　this　is　the　worst。
  8。　All　dropsies　arising　from　acute　diseases　are　bad；　for　they　do　not
  remove　the　fever；　and　are　very　painful　and　fatal。　The　most　of　them
  commence　from　the　flanks　and　loins；　but　some　from　the　liver；　in
  those　which　derive　their　origin　from　the　flanks　and　loins　the　feet
  swell；　protracted　diarrhoeas　supervene；　which　neither　remove　the　pains
  in　the　flanks　and　loins；　nor　soften　the　belly；　but　in　dropsies　which
  are　connected　with　the　liver　there　is　a　tickling　cough；　with
  scarcely　any　perceptible　expectoration；　and　the　feet　swell；　there
  are　no　evacuations　from　the　bowels；　unless　such　as　are　hard　and
  forced；　and　there　are　swellings　about　the　belly；　sometimes　on　the
  one　side　and　sometimes　on　the　other；　and　these　increase　and　diminish
  by　turns。
  9。　It　is　a　bad　symptom　when　the　head；　hands；　and　feet　are　cold；
  while　the　belly　and　sides　are　hot；　but　it　is　a　very　good　symptom
  when　the　whole　body　is　equally　hot。　The　patient　ought　to　be　able　to
  turn　round　easily；　and　to　be　agile　when　raised　up；　but　if　he　appear
  heavy　in　the　rest　of　his　body　as　well　as　in　his　hands　and　feet；　it
  is　more　dangerous；　and　if；　in　addition　to　the　weight；　his　nails　and
  fingers　become　livid；　immediate　death　may　be　anticipated；　and　if　the
  hands　and　feet　be　black　it　is　less　dangerous　than　if　they　be　livid；
  but　the　other　symptoms　must　be　attended；　to；　for　if　he　appear　to
  bear　the　illness　well；　and　if　certain　of　the　salutary　symptoms
  appear　along　with　these　there　may　be　hope　that　the　disease　will　turn
  to　a　deposition；　so　that　the　man　may　recover；　but　the　blackened
  parts　of　the　body　will　drop　off。　When　the　testicles　and　members　are
  retracted　upwards；　they　indicate　strong　pains　and　danger　of　death。
  10。　With　regard　to　sleep…　as　is　usual　with　us　in　health；　the　patient
  should　wake　during　the　day　and　sleep　during　the　night。　If　this　rule　be
  anywise　altered　it　is　so　far　worse：　but　there　will　be　little　harm
  provided　he　sleep　in　the　morning　for　the　third　part　of　the　day；　such
  sleep　as　takes　place　after　this　time　is　more　unfavorable；　but　the
  worst　of　all　is　to　get　no　sleep　either　night　or　day；　for　it　follows
  from　this　symptom　that　the　insomnolency　is　connected　with　sorrow　and
  pains；　or　that　he　is　about　to　become　delirious。
  11。　The　excrement　is　best　which　is　soft　and　consistent；　is　passed　at
  the　hour　which　was　customary　to　the　patient　when　in　health；　in
  quantity　proportionate　to　the　ingests；　for　when　the　passages　are　such；
  the　lower　belly　is　in　a　healthy　state。　But　if　the　discharges　be　fluid；
  it　is　favorable　that　they　are　not　accompanied　with　a　noise；　nor　are
  frequent；　nor　in　great　quantity；　for　the　man　being　oppressed　by
  frequently　getting　up；　must　be　deprived　of　sleep；　and　if　the
  evacuations　be　both　frequent　and　large；　there　is　danger　of　his　falling
  into　deliquium　animi。　But　in　proportion　to　the　ingesta　he　should
  have　evacuations　twice　or　thrice　in　the　day；　once　at　night　and　more
  copiously　in　the　morning；　as　is　customary　with　a　person　in　health。　The
  faeces　should　become　thicker　when　the　disease　is　tending　to　a
  crisis；　they　ought　to　be　yellowish　and　not　very　fetid。　It　is　favorable
  that　round　worms　be　passed　with　the　discharges　when　the　disease　is
  tending　to　a　crisis。　The　belly；　too；　through　the　whole　disease；　should
  be　soft　and　moderately　distended；　but　excrements　that　are　very　watery；
  or　white；　or　green；　or　very　red；　or　frothy；　are　all　bad。　It　is　also
  bad　when　the　discharge　is　small；　and　viscid；　and　white；　and
  greenish；　and　smooth；　but　still　more　deadly　appearances　are　the　black；
  or　fatty；　or　livid；　or　verdigris…green；　or　fetid。　Such　as　are　of
  varied　characters　indicate　greater　duration　of　the　complaint；　but
  are　no　less　dangerous；　such　as　those　which　resemble　scrapings；　those
  which　are　bilious；　those　resembling　leeks；　and　the　black；　these
  being　sometimes　passed　together；　and　sometimes　singly。　It　is　best　when
  wind　passes　without　noise；　but　it　is　better　that　flatulence　should
  pass　even　thus　than　that　it　should　be　retained；　and　when　it　does
  pass　thus；　it　indicates　either　that　the　man　is　in　pain　or　in　delirium；
  unless　he　gives　vent　to　the　wind　spontaneously。　Pains　in　the
  hypochondria；　and　swellings；　if　recent；　and　not　accompanied　with
  inflammation；　are　relieved　by　borborygmi　supervening　in　the
  hypochondrium；　more　especially　if　it　pass　off　with　faeces；　urine；
  and　wind；　but　even　although　not；　it　will　do　good　by　passing　along；　and
  it　also　does　good　by　descending　to　the　lower　part　of　the　belly。
  12。　The　urine　is　best　when　the　sediment　is　white；　smooth；　and
  consistent　during　the　whole　time；　until　the　disease　come　to　a
  crisis；　for　it　indicates　freedom　from　danger；　and　an　illness　of
  short　duration；　but　if　deficient；　and　if　it　be　sometimes　passed　clear；
  and　sometimes　with　a　white　and　smooth　sediment；　the　disease　will　be
  more　protracted；　and　not　so　void　of　danger。　But　if　the　urine　be
  reddish；　and　the　sediment　consistent　and　smooth；　the　affection；　in
  this　case；　will　be　more　protracted　than　the　former；　but　still　not
  fatal。　But　farinaceous　sediments　in　the　urine　are　bad；　and　still　worse
  are　the　leafy；　the　white　and　thin　are　very　bad；　but　the　furfuraceous
  are　still　worse　than　these。　Clouds　carried　about　in　the　urine　are　good
  when　white；　but　bad　if　black。　When　the　urine　is　yellow　and　thin；　it
  indicates　that　the　disease　is　unconcocted；　and　if　it　（the　disease）
  should　be　protracted；　there　maybe　danger　lest　the　patient　should　not
  hold　out　until　the　urine　be　concocted。　But　the　most　deadly　of　all
  kinds　of　urine　are　the　fetid；　watery；　black；　and　thick；　in　adult　men
  and　women　the　black　is　of　all　kinds　of　urine　the　worst；　but　in
  children；　the　watery。　In　those　who　pass　thin　and　crude　urine　for　a
  length　of　time；　if　they　have　otherwise　symptoms　of　convalescence；　an
  abscess　may　be　expected　to　form　in　the　parts　below　the　diaphragm。
  And　fatty　substances　floating　on　the　surface　are　to　be　dreaded；　for
  they　are　indications　of　melting。　And　one　should　consider　respecting
  the　kinds　of　urine；　which　have　clouds；　whether　they　tend　upwards　or
  downwards；　and　upwards　or　downwards；　and　the　colors　which　they　have
  and　such　as　fall　downwards；　with　the　colors　as　described；　are　to　be
  reckoned　good　and　commended；　but　such　as　are　carried　upwards；　with　the
  colors　as　described；　are　to　be　held　as　bad；　and　are　to　be
  distrusted。　But　you　must　not　allow　yourself　to　be　deceived　if　such
  urine　be　passed　while　the　bladder　is　diseased；　for　then　it　is　a
  symptom　of　the　state；　not　of　the　general　system；　but　of　a　particular
  viscus。
  13。　That　vomiting　is　of　most　service　which　consists　of　phlegm　and
  bile　mixed　together；　and　neither　very　thick　nor　in　great　quantity；　but
  those　vomitings　which　are　more　unmixed　are　worse。　But　if　that　which　is
  vomited　be　of　the　color　of　leeks　or　livid；　or　black；　whatever　of　these
  colors　it　be；　it　is　to　be　reckoned　bad；　but　if　the　same　man　vomit
  all　these　colors；　it　is　to　be　reckoned　a　very　fatal　symptom。　But　of
  all　the　vomitings；　the　livid　indicates　the　danger　of　death；　provided
  it　be　of　a　fetid　smell。　But　all　the　smells　which　are　somewhat　putrid
  and　fetid；　are　bad　in　all　vomitings。
  14。　The　expectoration　in　all　pains　about　the　lungs　and　sides；　should
  be　quickly　and　easily　brought　up；　and　a　certain　degree　of　yellowness
  should　appear　strongly　mixed　up　with　the　sputum。　But　if　brought　up
  long　after　the　commencement　of　the　pain；　and　of　a　yellow　or　ruddy
  color；　or　if　it　occasions　much　cough；　or　be　not　strongly　mixed；　it
  is　worse；　for　that　which　is　intensely　yellow　is　dangerous；　but　the
  white；　and　viscid；　and　round；　do　no　good。　But　that　which　is　very　green
  and　frothy　is　bad；　but　if　so　intense　as　to　appear　black；　it　is　still
  more　dangerous　than　these；　it　is　dangerous　than　these；　it　is　bad；　if
  nothing　is　expectorated；　and　the　lungs　discharge　nothing；　but　are
  gorged　with　matters　which　boil　（as　it　were）　in　the　air…passages。　It　is
  bad　when　coryza　and　sneezing　either　precede　or　follow　affections　of
  the　lungs；　but　in　all　other　affections；　even　the　most　deadly；　sneezing
  is　a　salutary　symptom。　A　yellow　spittle　mixed　up　with　not　much　blood
