Inflammation of the bowels. This disease may be occasioned by incau- tious exposure to cold, by acrid substances, or by har- dened fæces in the bowels. Its symptoms are: pain over the abdomen; thirst, heat, and exce ive restle - ne and anxiety; sickne ; obstinate constipation; and a hard, small and quick pulse. The pain increases as the disease proceeds, especially about the navel; there is great difficulty in voiding the urine, which is small in quantity and high-colored; and the abdomen is so ten- der as not to endure the slightest pre ure. It often terminates in a few hours in mortification of a part of the intestinal canal; in which case the pain suddenly ceases, the belly becomes tumid, the pulse sinks rapidly, and the countenance acquires a peculiar ghastline ; it also proves fatal during the inflammatory stage. Fa- vorable symptoms are: a gradual diminution of pain and of tenderne on pre ure, natural evacuation by the bowels, moist skin, equal and firm pulse, and a co- pious discharge of urine, depositing abundance of red sediment. This is a disease which requires prompt and decided treatment. Leeches should be applied over the abdomen, and the patient should be put in a hot bath, or fomented with hot water; the lower bowels should be evacuated by a glyster of castor-oil and gruel, but purgatives should be avoided until inflammatory symp- toms subside. Pain should be quelled by the effer- vescing draught, with a very few drops of tincture of opium. In most cases small doses of calomel and opium have been given with great advantage. When the ur- gent symptoms give way, and the bowels have been cleared, diaphoretic saline medicines and gentle ape- rients may be used, and a mild nourishing diet allowed; but great care is requisite in ascertaining that all relics of the inflammatory action are got rid of, and that it is not lurking in some one spot in a chronic form, as E. often the result of old disease existing in the cavity of the abdomen.
