Diseases Of The Bowels

Diarrhea nieans Hterally, a "running through" ana as applied to the humar body, in connection with a diseased con dition, its expressiveness is easily seen Whatever a person cata or drinks seems to pass through the system very soon and with comparatively little change. Siraple diarrhea is the passing from the bowels of a watery, lightish-colorei substance, in considerable quantities, a several times during the twenty-fou hours, sonietimes vrith pain ; always leav ing a sense of weakness, which make sitting still a deliciousness, as if itwoulc be a happiness to know that there wouk be no occasion ever to get up again. If blood is passed instead of thin light-colored liquid, it is tlien Disenteri or "Bloody Flux," accompanied with a frequent desire to stool, without bcinf, able to pass anything, with a sensatioi so distressing, that the Latins cali i Torminia, littrally a "torment." If, on the other hand, the discharges are fre quent, iinperative, in immense quantities tliin as water almost, and of a lightisl color, without any pain whatever ; tha is genuine cholera - Asiatic cholera. I is quite sufficieut for all common, pract: cal purposes, to say that diarrhea, dys tery and Asiatic cholera are one auc the saine disease, diffenng ouly in inten sity. In diarrhea, there is not much pai necesarily. In dysentery, there is a grea deal of pain iuevitably. In cholera there is necer any at all as to the bow els. In diarrhea, discharges always suc ceed inclination. In dysentery ther is a most cusiressing ïneiiuauon, wnu no satisfactory, no relieving discharge. In cholera, desire is followed always by immense and relieving discharges. - lu all these, tbere is one never-failing circumetance always and incvitably present, and liever can be absent, under any couceivable circumstances, - it is Ltho queuchlcss instinct of nature calling for rest, bodily quietude, and without that rest, a cure is always impossible, and death an inevitable event. There is in all these a reinorseless thirst. Nature then calis for two things to satisfy hor lougings for rest and drink, and if these two things are done with sufficient promjilness, there is a perfect cure in nine oases out of ten. Perfect quietude on a bed, and chewing ice, swallowing as large pieces as possible, uut il the thirst is perfectly satisfied, is all that is neccssary in any ordinary attack of either of these three diseases. To niake assuranee doubly sure, keep the abdomen tightly bound around with two thicknesses of woolen flannel, enting nothing but j boiled rice, with boiled milk, in ordinary cases; if more violent, let the rice be pnrebed black as coffee usually is, theu boil and eat it; or what is still more efficiënt, put a pound or more of flour in a linun bagj boil it two hours in milk, take off the skin, dry it, grate it into boiled milk, and eat it freely, and nothing olse, until the disease is checked - If these bowel-eomplaints are checked too proinptly with laudanum, paregoric, or opium, fata! convulsions take place in a few hours, as to children, and incurable congestión or infiannnation of the brain in gröwn persons. As bowel diseases are the scourge of all armies d the fall of the year, these suggentions should bc widely circulatcd.- Br. W. W. Huil.
