Smallpox

Fermentation sometimes occurs in the blood due to decay, similar to the fermentation that occurs in the squeezed juices of fruits and leads to their particles being separated from one another. This includes, for example, fermentation, the cause of which is a seemingly natural thing: it causes the blood to ferment in order to separate from it the remnants of the nutrient of menstruation mixed with it, formed during pregnancy or generated after it from cloudy, bad foods that dilute the composition of the blood and excite it, so that its substance becomes thicker than before and more clearly. Nature does something similar with squeezed grape juice when it condenses it into wine, homogeneous in composition, having previously separated the airy foam and earthy sediment from it. This also includes fermentation caused by influences coming from outside. It stirs the blood and strongly mixes the juices with it, and after this boiling and seething occurs. Something similar to this happens when the seasons, especially spring, have different qualities and climatic conditions than they should.

Smallpox and measles are among the transient diseases and become more frequent after southern winds, when they blow frequently. A body prone to smallpox is one that is hot and moist in nature, especially if the moisture is cloudy, and also one from which little blood is removed by bloodletting. Among the dishes there are dishes that quickly cause smallpox, especially when they are unusual and after them intoxicating drugs and dishes are consumed; such, for example, is milk and, especially, the milk of a camel and a mare, if a person who is not accustomed to it drinks a lot of it, and then drinks a lot of wine or takes hot medicine. With smallpox there is something of a crisis.

Most often, smallpox occurs in children, then in young men, and in old people it rarely occurs and occurs only from strong causes and in very hot and humid countries. In a wet body it occurs more often than in a dry one, and in spring it happens more often than in winter, and after spring, smallpox occurs most often at the end of autumn, especially if it was preceded by a hot, dry summer, and autumn was also hot and dry.

Smallpox occurs not only in the skin and in areas adjacent to the outer integument; on the contrary, it occurs in all external and internal organs, similar in terms of their particles, even in the membranes and nerves. When smallpox appears, it causes itching, then millet-like pimples appear, like the ends of needles. Then they break out and fill with pus, then they ulcerate, then they turn into colorful scabs, then they fall off; Smallpox often turns into phlegmon, or into erysipelas, or into ulcers that accumulate pus. When pockmarks appear, they most often have the color of phlegmon, but often appear colored in various colors: ashen, violet, black. The fact is that pockmarks are characterized by different varieties of color: there are white pockmarks, there are yellow pockmarks, there are red pockmarks, there are blue pockmarks, there are violet pockmarks, and there are also blackish ones. Blue and violet pockmarks are malignant; the more they are cast in blackness, the worse, and the more they deviate from it, the further they are from evil. White pockmarks are the best, especially if they are scanty in number, large in size, erupt easily, are not very painful and give a slight fever, and you see that after their appearance and eruption the fever goes away, and they first appear on the third day or so . The white ones are followed by large numerous pockmarks, close to one another, but not merging: those pockmarks that merge without covering a large area of ​​meat, polygonal or round, are very malignant, as well as double pockmarks, large, when one pockmark is located inside the other.

As for the white small hard pockmarks, located close to each other and protruding with difficulty, although they at first seem benign, one can be afraid that they will mature with difficulty and that the patient’s condition will become bad and lead to his death, since the cause their hardness is the density of matter. To malignant, dangerous varieties of smallpox; which often destroy the patient, belongs to one in which the quality of the pockmarks changes and they either appear or disappear, especially if violet-colored pockmarks appear. The same is true for tenacious pockmarks, the eruption of which is invariably accompanied by weakness of strength and destructive blueing and blackening of the affected organ. If, with cyanosis and blackening that follows the rash, strength does not fall, but, on the contrary, strength increases and increases, then the disease is not destructive, but it often causes ulcers and similar phenomena. If there is a fever first, and then smallpox, it is much better than if smallpox precedes it, and then follows it and the fever suddenly appears.

Most of all, a patient with smallpox should monitor his breathing and voice. If they remain good, then the situation is fine, but if you see that in a patient with smallpox or measles the breaths follow each other with interruptions, then you can assume a loss of strength or swelling of the abdominal obstruction. Further, if you see that thirst is increasing, there is persistent lightheadedness, the outer skin is getting colder and smallpox or measles is causing cyanosis, then this heralds the death of the patient; such an assumption is strengthened if the smallpox is of a type in which the rash protrudes and appears late. Most of those who die from smallpox die from suffocation and manifestations of sore throat; sometimes they die from loss of strength due to abrasions in the intestines and diarrhea. When you see that the violet rash with smallpox and measles goes deep, then know that the patient will soon faint, and if the patient quickly begins to urinate blood and then black urine follows, then he is dead, especially if there is a loss of strength, as well as bowel movements of greens, blood, or in the form of slop during loss of strength. Humaika is a cross between smallpox and measles, and is safer than both.

A person often gets smallpox twice if the matter accumulates twice to rush into the organs.

Lead mum is a smallpox that appears on the face, chest and stomach more abundantly than on the lower leg and foot. It is malignant and indicates the presence of thick matter that does not rush to the extremities.
