Senile tabes

The custom has been established to talk about senile tabes after tabes fever, and we will also follow the usual path. The term tabes senile means that the nature has been completely taken over by dryness without fever; sometimes heat and cold are balanced - this happens in the rarest cases, and sometimes such dryness is accompanied by coldness. This condition is called senile tabes or tabes from decrepitude, because the body before the time of aging becomes the same as during aging. Elderly people fall into tabes faster than young people, and young people fall into it faster than children; however, it sometimes occurs in both young men and children. The reason that leads to such a disease is, in particular, the cold, which takes over the nature when the body is weak and does not allow the nourishing force to perfectly fulfill its actions, as happens at the end of life. This also includes drinking cold water at inappropriate times, or when the body is weak with fever, or when the juices are immature, or after physical work, which dissipates natural strength, opens the pores and encourages cold water to rush into the insides at once; the same effect applies to bad cold vapors, rising to the heart and cooling its nature, or heat, which dissipates and dissolves moisture and extinguishes natural warmth, giving rise to cold and dryness; sometimes this happens after bowel movements.

This disease is often caused by the excessive use of drinking medicines and medicinal dressings by those suffering from fever. When this disease becomes established, it is incurable, and if there were a trick against it, then there would be a trick against death itself.

Signs. In such patients, there are no noticeable signs of stunting and drying out and no signs of burning or burning are visible, and they sometimes even turn out to be cold to the touch. Their pulse is not the same as the pulse of those suffering from tachycardia, but on the contrary, it is small, slow, rare, but when weakness increases, the pulse begins to quicken, especially in those who are struck by the disease as a result of drinking cold water. Their urine is white, thin, watery, and in all their qualities they are similar to old people.

Treatment of senile tabes. Until the disease has become stronger, such a patient is treated in the hope that it will not become stronger, and if it has become stronger, then in the hope of slightly delaying his death. The rule of treatment is warming and hydration. Among the moisturizing agents, they use bathing in a bathhouse in a way already known to you, and bathing is used only after digestion is completed; if you bathe immediately after eating, it will cause a loss of strength. They are also treated with enemas prepared from the heads and legs of animals, from chickpeas, crushed wheat, figs with tribulus and chamomile; Enemas are done in the amount of half a rittl with two uqiyas of sesame oil, adding a little bana oil. Rubbing the patient after feeding is also used. Milk milked from the udder is of great benefit to such patients, and honey is also as beneficial to them as it is harmful to those suffering from esophageal fever. Any moisturizing food that slips easily, rushes quickly into the stomach and is devoid of viscosity, such as meat juice, soft-boiled egg yolks, and liquid fragrant wine in small quantities are very suitable for them. You should keep in mind hydration, which is mentioned in the paragraph on limpet fever; Warming incense, medicinal dressings, rubbing, dishes, etc. are combined with moisturizing.
