for Spasmodic and Flatulent Colic, of Gripes.

[N.B. As most of these drenches would be injurious in inflammation of the bowels (Enteritis), care should be taken to distinguish between this disease and colic. Inflammation is known by the quick but small pulse, redness of the inside of the eyelids, coldness of the ears and legs, and scanty and high-coloured urine. In colic, the attacks and remissions of pain alternate; in inflammation, the pain and distress continue. In colic, the pain is relieved by friction and motion; in inflammation, it is increased. Cold is sudden in its attack; inflammation, more gradual in its approach.]
