Nothing can be lefs like the othe

the ftomach, efpecially the inteftines, the liver, the uterus, and 
era ominal vifcera; and farther, that the primary dif- 
order is moft frequently a flight sem in of the bowels 
or of the liver, which is eafily removed by medicine. This 
form of hematemefis we aus a deferibe, and afterwards 
— the lefs frequent vari 
ordinary form of this ‘difeafe chiefly attacks females, 
‘ators the eighteenth and thirtieth year of their age. It 
is prec by great languor and oppreflion, both about the 
cheft and the region of the ftomach; by a fenfe of fulnefs 
of the posh _by cough, difficult ‘y of breathing, and 
— by pain in the breaft ; by lofs of appetite, head- 
e, giddinefs, and difturbed d fleep. The eye is dull, the 
Scaeesaities is expreffive of much diitrefs, the pulfe is 
pie bowels are conftipated. In this ftate of im 
ed health, a particular fit of ficknefs and nanfea is the 
aeie, forerunner of the attack of t ware m 
blood. The blood brought up is fometimes florid, 
other times black and ous; fometimes it is ace wick 
a large quantity of mucus, and at others with the remains 
of the alimentary matters taken into the flomach. The. 
quantity of blood prong up at one time varies from a few 
ounces to a pound o The diftrefling fymptoms are 
relieved by this Mania oe blood; but they are _ aB- 
gravated, previoufly to the return of a fimilar attack of 
vomiting. 
It is reqeitite, when blood is brought up, to afcertain 
with accuracy whether it has been difcharged from the flo- 
mach or from the lungs: in popular language, the origin 
Sere difcharge from the cheft is ae erred: to 
mach. For this “Te bio the following circumttances
