In Abdera Anaxion, who lay sick by the Thracian gate, was seized with acute fever. Continuous pain in the right side; a dry cough, with no sputa on the first days. Thirst ; sleeplessness; urine of good colour, copious and thin.
8
Sixth day. Delirium; warm applications gave no relief.
8
Seventh day. In pain, for the fever grew worse and the pains were not relieved, while the coughing was troublesome and there was difficulty in breathing.
8
Eighth day. I bled him in the arm. There was an abundant, proper flow of blood; the pains were relieved, although the dry coughing persisted.
8
Eleventh day. The fever went down; slight sweating about the head; the coughing and the sputa more moist.
8
Seventeenth day. Began to expectorate small, concocted sputa; was relieved.
8
Twentieth day. Sweated and was free from fever; after a crisis was thirsty, and the cleansings from the lungs were not favourable.
8
Twenty-seventh day. The fever returned; coughing, with copious, concocted sputa; copious, white sediment in urine; thirst and difficulty in breathing disappeared.
