SUPPLEMENT. 491 



These being properly mixed were admi- 

 nistered as a glyster, of warmth sufficient to 

 stimulate the internal parts to action, 



This was however expelled almost instantly 

 upon its injection, with great rapidity, as 

 having met some obstacle in its course 

 through the intestine, which served only to 

 excite an unremitting perseverance to obtain 

 relief; particularly as I had sufficient reason 

 to believe, by every look and endeavouring 

 action of the animal, that he had already 

 found some degree of mitigation by the eva- 

 cuation from his stomach and the relaxation 

 of the intestine. The glyster was repeated 

 in two hours, with an almost immediate 

 ejection, producing no other advantage than 

 additional alleviation of predominant symp~ 

 toms ; the subject became evidently more at 

 ease, displaying in his looks certain marks 

 of relief; the stricture upon the abdominal 

 muscles was considerably reduced, and I had 

 little doubt but that the state of the stomach 

 and intestines was in some decree altered bv 

 the salutary discharge from the former, as 

 well as the good efliect from and warmth of 

 the internal fomentation upon the other.
