Thirteenth and the Nineteenth but all other Days which are neither Principes nor Indices nor Intercidentes are called Vacui and Medicinales and they are the Sixth the Eighth the Tenth the Twelfth the Sixteenth and the Eighteenth The computation of Critical Days is to be Instituted from that hour wherein the Patient first felt himself ill We may observe by the by That the computation of Critical Days in these Countries does not exactly correspond with Hypocrates his Accounts All these days depend upon the sooner or later Fermentation and Maturation of the Morbific Matter Critica Signa Critical Signs are such as are taken from a Crisis either towards Death or a Recovery and some of them are antecedent which either fore-tell the time of a Crisis or signifie a kind of Crisis Others
