This kind of Cholic comes on fuddenly, and 

 may, in general, be readily diftinguifhed by the 

 rumbling of the imprifoned air through the in- 

 teflines for vent or difcharge. It is occafioned 

 by hafty and full feeding after long farting; 

 drinking cold water when hot, or in too large 

 quantity; or when the obftruded perfpirable 

 matter is thrown immediately upon the bowels 

 by a powerful revulfion, effedled in a change 

 from heat to extreme cold, &c. There is no 

 gradual progreffion in this complaint from flight 

 fymptoms; its appearance is mollly fudden, 

 and attack violent; the fubjed bceomes in 

 more meafure outrageous j he fl:rikes his belly 

 with his feet, looks wildly on either fide to^ 

 wards his hind parts, lies down unexpefliedly, 

 and rifes as fuddenly. When the pain is ex-r 

 cruciating, vibrations of the whole frame are 

 perceptible; to thefe a palpable moifiure or 

 fweat fucceed, but not of long duration; a 

 rigour or (hivering frequently follows the per- 

 fpiration; he repeatedly lies down, rolls him.-
