a copious hemorrhage from the nose, a discharge from the
bowels of much bilious and frothy matters, such as might seem
to be expelled from the lungs to the lower belly, provided it
readily brings off much in a liquid state. Sometimes there is a
determination to the urine. But they recover the most speedily
in whose cases all these occur together.
In certain cases much pus is formed in the lungs, or there is
a metastasis from the side, if a greater symptom of convalescence
be at hand. But if, indeed, the matter be translated
from the side to the intestine or bladder, the patients immediately
recover from the peripneumony; but they have a
chronic abscess in the side, which, however, gets better. But
if the matter burst upon the lungs, some have thereby been
suffocated, from the copious effusion and inability to bring it
up. But such as escape suffocation from the bursting of the
abscess, have a large ulceration in the lungs, and pass into
phthisis; and from the abscess and phthisis old persons do not
readily recover; but from the peripneumony, youths and adults.
CHAPTER II. ON THE BRINGING UP OF BLOOD
THERE are two species of the discharge of blood by the mouth.
The one that by the mouth from the head and the vessels there;
the passage is by the palate and fauces, where are situated the
commencement of the œsophagus and trachea; and with
hawking, and small and more urgent cough, they eructate the
blood into the mouth; whereas, in that from the mouth,
neither does hawking accompany, and it is called Emptysis [or
spitting of blood]. But when the discharge is more scanty,
and by drops, or when it comes more copiously from the head,
