    4 1 * * If air growing furious assails the chest and the anus of the patient, and if in consequence of this, he grows very, very weak, then will he expire within the limits of that very day. If air overpowers the groins and the anus, and if there is hard breath¬ ing present, death occurs in a day. If the navel and the hypogastric and pubic regions, as well as the head, the urine and excreta are overcome ♦ by air, and if at the same time there is sharp pain, life becomes extinct in a day. If the groins, severely sore in consequence of sharp pain brought on by air, bring on looseness of the bowels, and thirst, there is death in a day. He whose body is overcome with flux conse¬ quent on the influence of malign air, and who has looseness of the bowels, dies within that day. If when one has dysentery, there are sharp shoot¬ ing pain in the rectum and severe soreness at that part, they are the signs of death taking place within a day. If air coming to the stomach, deprives one of one’s senses, and produces rattling sounds in the throat, the person loses his life in a day. If the color of the teeth is like that of pow¬ dered clay, the face looks white like lime, and the body is covered with sweat, death follows in a day. Thirst, hard breathing, aching in the head, stupor, debility, the emission of indistinct sounds, and looseness of the bowels, betoken death within a day, 11. O*
