For an evaluation rubric and expectations, and the first five cases of Epidemic 1 see attached

black and thin.

Fifth day. Deafness early in the day; general
exacerbation; spleen swollen; tension of the hypochondrium; scanty black
stools; delirium.

the relapse the spleen grew less and the deafness diminished, but there

the seventeenth day. There was no delirium during the relapse.

in the Hippocratic text, Epidemics 1
