62 A copious sweat, hot or cold, constantly flowing, indicates a superabundance of humidity; we must evacuate then, in a strong person upward, and in a weak, downward.

63 Fevers, not of the intermittent type, if they become exacerbated every third day are dangerous; but if they intermit in any form whatever, this shows that they are not dangerous.

64 In cases of protracted fever, either chronic abscesses or pains in the joints come on.

65 When chronic abscesses (phymata) or pains in the joints take place after fevers, the patients are using too much food.

66 If one give to a person in fever the same food which is given to a person in good health, what is strength to the one is disease to the other.

67 We must look to the urinary evacuations, whether they resemble those of persons in health; if not at all so, they are particularly morbid, but if they are like those of healthy persons, they are not at all morbid.

68 When the dejections are allowed to stand and not shaken, and a sediment is formed like scrapings (of the bowels), in such a case it is proper to purge the bowels; and if you give ptisans before purging, the more you give the more harm you will do.

69 Crude dejections are the product of black bile; if abundant, of more copious, and if deficient, of less copious collections of it.
