Theses de sudore

LIX.
A cold sweat in acute and grave diseases demonstrates death; in milder ones and without fever, it demonstrates the length of the disease. Hippocrates, Aphorisms 4.37; Prognostics commentary 1, sentence 20.

LX.
A salty sweat is an indication of vehement heat and false humor, according to the opinion of Averroes, Cantica, book 1, tractate 2, text 338. The same must be said of other flavors.

LXI.
A bitter sweat presages jaundice, especially if a yellowish color is also present.

LXII.
Sweats that smell good note a healthy state of the body and the veins.

LXIII.
Foul sweats always portend something bad. For they indicate in the ἐντοσίο internal place, the stomach, liver, and veins, a μόλυνσιν pollution/infection that has succeeded. Whence there is persistent juice, corruption, and the heat of the viscera is very languid.

LXIIII.
Bloody sweats are bad, since they are in their entire genus contrary to nature. Other colors indicate the dominance of a peculiar humor.

LXV.
Sweats of the whole body announce the disease being overcome by nature, especially if it has occupied some principal part, as in fevers, especially burning ones. Hippocrates, Prognostics 1, sentence 22.

LXVI.
A particular sweat (unless it perfectly resolves the disease of the part) is always bad. For it shows that this is an exhaustion of nature, such that it cannot purge itself through the whole body, but only through a weaker member.

LXVII.
The prognostics of differences taken from time are clear from the above.
