This fever occurs from glassy mucus that forms inside and deep and cools the place where it is located. However, this mucus sometimes rots, and as a result of the rotting of the mucus, vapors spread, which disperse and burn at the outer integument, and what does not rot cools the body inside. The cold from mucus does not appear outside at this time for the reason that the mucus is motionless and the areas of the body close to it are accustomed to experiencing its effect. When decay begins in it, it moves and is dispersed several times throughout the body, although not so much as to spread throughout the entire body.
Signs. These are exactly the same signs of mucus fever as mentioned above; the patient’s urine is cold, damp, not as hot as urine in other fevers of the same kind; Her pulse is slow, rare, and in most cases it takes a lot every day. However, due to the density of its matter, it often turns into four-day and three-day, for such matter in the body is not abundant and rots little and rarely, and the scarcity of matter is one of the reasons for the remoteness of attacks from each other. But this does not exclude such a fever from the list of mucous ones, for it is mucous, not due to the daily recurrence of the attack, but for the reason that the putrefaction with it is the putrefaction of the mucus. The duration of its attack is from four hours to twenty-four hours, but most often it ends earlier, because such matter is not so abundant.
