Note 513 — ON THE PROGNOSTICS.

Francis Adams translation

This is taken, with slight alterations, from the Coacæ Prænotiones, 365, 367. The latter clause is more fully expressed in the Coacæ Prænotiones than in the Prognostics. “In those cases in which cynanche is determined to the lungs, some die in seven days, and some escaping these get into a state of empyema, unless they have a pituitous expectoration.” This is evidently a correct description of the disease spreading to the lungs.
