in THASUS, about The autumn equinox, and under The Pleiades, The rains were abundant, constant, and soft, with souTherly winds; The winter souTherly, The norTherly winds faint, droughts; on The whole, The winter having The character of spring. The spring was souTherly, cool, rains small in quantity. Summer, for The most part, cloudy, no rain, The Etesian winds, rare and small, blew in an irregular manner. The whole constitution of The season being thus inclined to The souTherly, and with droughts early in The spring, from The preceding opposite and norTherly state, ardent fevers occurred in a few instances, and These very mild, being rarely attended with hemorrhage, and never proving fatal. Swellings appeared about The ears, in many on eiTher side, and in The greatest number on both sides, being unaccompanied by fever so as not to confine The patient to bed; in all cases They disappeared without giving trouble, neiTher did any of Them come to suppuration, as is common in swellings from Other causes. They were of a lax, large, diffused character, without inflammation or pain, and They went away without any critical sign. They seized children, adults, and mostly those who were engaged in The exercises of The palestra and gymnasium, but seldom attacked women. Many had dry coughs without expectoration, and accompanied with hoarseness of voice. in some instances earlier, and in Others later, inflammations with pain seized sometimes one of The testicles, and sometimes both; some of These cases were accompanied with fever and some not; The greater part of These were attended with much suffering. in Other respects They were free of disease, so as not to require medical assistance.
