Note 643 — BOOK I.—OF THE EPIDEMICS.
Francis Adams translation
The complication of the autumnal remittent fever with jaundice is noticed by Sir John Pringle (Obs. iii., 4), and by Monro (On Army Diseases, p. 161). Galen, in his Commentary, remarks that when nature is unable to evacuate the bile, it is collected in the skin, and occasions jaundice. He adds, that the occurrence of the jaundice in this case was unfavorable, owing to its taking place before the seventh day. When occurring on the seventh day, jaundice was reckoned a favorable symptom. See On Crises, 3; Aphorism, iv., 62, 64.
