De morborum temporibus, Principum Medicorum Aphorismoi

7. A solution is completed by maturation, dissolution, and rarefaction.
8. Acute diseases end only by crisis: long diseases and acute ones of medium duration end by abscess: diseases nourished even into old age, such as hoarseness and distillations, end by solution.
9. Diseases kill either by suffocating, such as dyspnea, angina, or apoplexy: or by σβεσιν extinction, such as dropsy: or by μαρανσιν wasting, such as phthisis, marasmus, or atrophy: or as a greater fire consumes a smaller one, such as καυσος burning fever and inflammation of the viscera.
10. Immaterial diseases lack these times, such as hectic fever or an exquisite ephemera, although the declination of the latter is sometimes joined to a sweat, and the former is often joined to copious sweats.
11. A sweat that does not appear due to suppressed vapors produces a suspicion of putrid fever: due to a body that is too dried out, it produces a suspicion of hectic fever.

These same times in a phlegmon are defined by the humor or flow and its seat, or by suppuration.
1. In a phlegmon, blood consists either in the smallest vessels, or outside the vessels in empty spaces, or in the porosities and substance of the parts.
2. In the status, pains are excited due to heat, disruption, and consumption of the muscle flesh: and greater fevers occur because much vapor is transmitted to the heart.
3. Once the pus is finished, the fever and pain are diminished, because the vapor of the pus has exhaled and the fervor is repressed.
4. In the augmentation, as the flow ceases, the inflammation is increased due to fervor and putrefaction, whence comes a fusion of blood and vapor, and consequently greater pain.

These same times in pleurisy are distinguished by the variety of the sputum.
1. Not the πτύσμα spit, but the πτύελον phlegm/sputum appearing immediately at the beginning of pleurisy, announces brevity.
2. Raw sputum threatens a long disease: corrupt sputum, danger: corrupt and malignant sputum, death.

The times of an ulcer are described by sanies and pus.
1. Sanies occurs if the watery, thin, cold, and unconcocted part of the blood is conquered by the concocting heat: Ichor, if it is not conquered.
2. Pus, the medium between putrefaction and the substance of our body, is made by natural heat alone, acting on matter participating in preternatural heat, and not entirely conquering it.
3. The matter of pus is either outside the vessels, as in tumors and ulcers: or inside the vessels, as menstrual blood retained in the veins for 2 or 3 months, with a fever supervening.
4. Urine can be according to nature: Ichor is always an excrement contrary to nature.
