PART 10
Those diseases which have their paroxysms on even days have their
crises on even days; and those which have their paroxysms on uneven
days have their crises on uneven days. The first period of those which
have the crisis on even days, is the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 14th, 20th,
30th, 40th, 60th, 80th, 100th; and the first period of those which
have their crises on uneven
[p. 114] days, is the 1st, 3d, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th,
17th, 21th, 27th, 31st. It should be known, that if the crisis take
place on any other day than on those described, it indicates that
there will be a relapse, which may prove fatal. But one ought to pay
attention, and know in these seasons what crises will lead to recovery
and what to death, or to changes for the better or the worse. Irregular
fevers, quartans, quintans, septans, and nonans should be studied,
in order to find out in what periods their crises take place.
