Note 478 — ON THE PROGNOSTICS.
Francis Adams translation
This paragraph is pretty closely taken from the Coacæ Prænotiones, 492. A good deal of stress is laid upon the state of the temperature of the extremities in the reports of the febrile cases contained in the Epidemics. He announces it as a general truth that coldness of the extremities in acute diseases is bad. (Aphor. vii., 1.) Sprengel considers that he has stated this fact in too general terms, as there are many exceptions to it. (Hist. de la Méd., tom. i., 317.)
