   • 1720, Harvey, James: Præsagium Medicum; or, the Prognostick Signs of acute Diseases (London) p.3

     Whereas, those Distampers which are chiefly seated in the Fluids, and therefore acute and short, by reason of their quick and violent motion, occasioned sometimes by external Causes, and sometimes proceeding from this or that peculiar Inflammation of the Blood; irregularity and Intemperies of particular Bodies, run speedily through their Period; and are so nice and unmanagable, that, sometimes they seem to baffle Experience it self, and the very Principles of the Prognostick Art.

   • 1720, Morton, Richard: Phthisiologia: or, a treatise of consumptions. (W. かつ J. Innys, London) p.117

     Here I could easily make several Divisions of a Consumption of the Lungs, and those such as are confirm'd by daily Experience; but, because they neither afford any Light to the forming of a true Notion of this Distemper in general, nor help us to a clearer, or more distinct Understanding of the general Prognostick Signs and Indications of Cure, I shall not so much as mention them, at least in this place.
