the Veflels emptied do not facilitate the Return of the 
Parts prolapfed, and all the Confequences that gene- 
rally are obfervUupon the like Occafion, and if thefc 
do not operate foon, it is very feldom that any thing 
is got by the Application and Ufe of all the other 
Means prefcribed.. Certain however it is, that 'tis 
very dangerous to depend too long upon, them ; and 
that a Sufpenfton of the Symptoms is no Security, 
whilft the due Courfe of the Forces is interrupted. The 
Cafe I have here mention’d, may be a Warning to 
others, not to delay too long an Operation whereby 
the Parts are to be releas’d from Confinement, and 
which oftener would be fuccefsful, if it was not de- 
layed fo Jong. 
In the cafe of a Rupture with a Miferere met, 
feme deny that Excrements and Clyfters from the 
lower Guts can afeend, and be difeharged through the 
Mouth, upon a Prefumption, that the Strangulation 
that prevents and’ flops the Defcent of a thin Fluid 
downwards, muft prevent the Afccnt likewife, anal, 
efpecially of fuch folid Subftances as are reported to 
be difeharged upwards ; and the rather, that the Val- 
mda Coli , and the Wrinkles or Valves of the Guts, 
muft impede the Afcent : But the Fa £t is true, and there 
is no one converfant in Pra&ice, but has feen Fceces 
and oily Clyfters difeharged upwards. 
If this be allowed, it will follow, that in the Gut- 
Pvupture, there is a Paffage through their Pipe, and 
confequently that the Strangulation muft be lefs than 
it is generally afeertain’d. 
The Inflammation of the Guts inverts, but we do 
not know how, the periftaltic Aftion of them, 
and the Difchargc, and that fo long as that is con- 
tinued.
