and there was likewife an obftrudllon in the glands 
of the mefentery. 
In others, a ftrong inflammation had feized the 
whole flomach, and a fmall portion of the oefopha- 
gas ; but the inteftines were free. Thefe were filled 
with wind in thofe fubjedls, whofe bellies had been, 
fwelled. 
In thofe cafes, where the delirium had continued 
long and violent, we found either ulceration on the 
ftomach, or its villous coat feparated, together with 
a great inflammation, and even fome gangrenous fpots 
on the other coats of that organ. Nothing extra- 
ordinary was ever found in the brain. 
The mofl; fuccefsful method of treating thefe dif* 
orders, was as follows : 
A bleeding or two, at firfl:, was diredlly followed 
by a * vomit. I have feen this remedy produce a 
fmall flux of five or fix flools a day, which, with the 
addition of limonade, was generally fufficient to ef- 
fedl a cure. But when this fuccefs did not follow, 
the patient was bled firfl: in the arm, then in the 
foot, and every two or three days there was given 
fome caflla, quickened by an emetic, and diflblv’d in 
a decodlion of tamarinds. We prefcribed ptifans of 
ftrawberry-leaves, adding fome nitre j limonades. 
* It is called in the original, Vemetlque en lavage, which figni- 
fies an emetic well diluted with water j the formula of which is, 
four grains of emetic tartar, diflblved in a quart of water ; the 
fourth part of which is given at a time. After this has work’d 
either by vomit or ftool, another fourth is taken, and fo on, till 
the patient is fuppofed to have vomited or purged enough.
