Note 698 — BOOK III.—OF THE EPIDEMICS.

Galen remarks, that with such a combination of fatal symptoms, namely, coldness of the extremities, fetid vomiting, etc., it is wonderful that this patient stood out until the fourteenth day. He thinks, however, that this is to be explained from her age and constitution. He justly remarks that the occurrence of the epistaxis could not be supposed sufficient to carry of such a combination of unfavorable symptoms. He once more protests against the last word of the report (causus) being admitted as genuine. He confesses himself unable to determine whether “The Liars’ Market” was in Athens or elsewhere.
