Class I. 2. 4. 20. OF IRRITATION. i-r> 



fhofe who have drunk much fpirituous liquor, and is generally 

 fucceeded by drcpfy and death. 



M. M. Repeated emetics. Mild cathartics. Warm bath. 

 Ele:tricity. Bitters. Then fteel, which, when the pain and 

 inflammation are removed by evacuations, acts like a charm in 

 removing the remainder of the inflammation, and by promoting 

 the abforption of the new veitels or fluids •, like the application 

 of any acrid eve- water at the end of ophthalmia ; and thus the 

 thickened coats of the bile-duel become reduced, or the enlarge- 

 ment of the liver leflfened, and a free paflage is again opened for 

 the bile into the inteuine. Ether with yoik o£ egg is recom- 

 mended, as having a tendency to diflblye infpiflated bile. And 

 a decoclion of madder is recommended for the fame purpofe^ 

 -hecaufe the biie of animals, whole food was mixed with madder, 

 was found always in a dilute (late-. Aerated alkaline water, at 

 Seltzer water. Raw cabbage, and other acrid vegetables, as 

 ■water-crefles, muftard. Horfes are faid to be fubject to infpif- 

 fated biie, with yellow eyes, in the winter feafon, and to get wqW 

 as foon as they feed on the fpring grafs. 



The largeft bile-ftone I have feen was from a lady, who had 

 parted with it fome years before, and who had abftained above 

 ten years from ail kinds cf vegetable diet to prevent, as fhe 

 fuppofed, a colic of her ftomach, which was probably a pain 

 of the biliary duel ; on reluming the ufe cf fome vegetable diet, 

 ihe recovered a better llate of health, and formed no new bilious 

 concretions. 



A ilrong aerated alkaline water is fold by J. Schweppe, No. 

 8, King-ftreet, Holborn. See Clafs I. 1. 3. 10. 



20. Pelvis renalis inirritabilitas. Inirritabiiity of the pelvis 

 of the kidney. When the nucleus of a (tone, whether it be in- 

 fpifTated mucus, or other matter, is formed in the extremity of 

 any of the tubuli uriniferi, and being detached from thence fails 

 into the pelvis of the kidney, it is liable to lodge there from the 

 want of due irritability of the membrane ; and in that (ituation 

 increafes by new appofiiions of indurated animal matter, in the 

 fame manner as the ilone of the bladder. This is the general 

 caufe of haemorrhage from the kidney ; and of obtufe pain in it 

 on exercife •, or of acute pain, when the {lone advances into the 

 ureter. See Clafs I. 1. 3. 9.
