[7] Neque is servari potest, qui sine ullo tumore febricitans, subito strangulatur, aut devorare salivam suam non potest1; cuive in codem febris corporisque habitu cervix convertitur, sic ut devorare aeque nihil possit2; aut cui simul et continue febris et ultima corporis infirmitas est; aut cui, febre non quiescente, exterior pars friget, interior sic calet, ut etiam sitim faciat3; aut qui, febre aeque non quiescente, simul et delirio et spirandi difficultate vexatur4; aut qui, epoto veratro, exceptus distentione nervorum est5; aut qui ebrius obmutuit. Is enim fere nervorum distentione consumitur, nisi aut febris accessit, aut eo tempore, quo ebrietas solvi debet, loqui coepit6. Mulier quoque gravida acuto morbo facile consumitur7; et is, cui somnus dolorem auget8; et cui protinus in recenti morbo bilis atra vel infra vel supra se ostendit; cuive alterutro modo se prompsit, quum jam longo morbo corpus ejus esset extenuatum et affectum9.
