OF INTESTINE. 
and afterwards had him raked and clystered. But very little 
dung, however, was found in the rectum : he appeared to have 
got rid of it all in the morning ; for he voided none afterwards, 
(although he staled twice), even up to the hour of his death. 
The surface of his belly I had well rubbed with an embrocation 
of mustard and spirits of turpentine; and his body, which was 
again at this time covered with sweat, was once more rubbed 
dry ; a task that employed four men for at least an hour, so fast 
did cold clammy sweats succeed one another. At length, having 
got his body all over drv, and his legs and ears warm, I had 
him thickly clothed and bandaged. Hardly, however, had the 
clothes been upon him ten minutes, before he broke out in ano¬ 
ther profuse sweat, which compelled us again to renew the hand- 
labour : in fact, so repeatedly did this effect follow clothing him 
up, that we were at length compelled to relinquish his clothing 
altogether; for, while his body was exposed only would it remain 
dry. In half an hour from the administration of the drink, no 
relief being obtained, the same was renewed. Half an hour af¬ 
terwards, that failing to afford any ease, a pint of white brandy 
was given, undiluted . This seemed to allay his sufferings for a 
time ; for we did not detect any violent expressions of them for 
two hours afterwards. 
About six o’clock in the afternoon he commenced pawing 
afresh, striking his belly, looking at his flank, and moving about 
in the box ; and his pulse began to rise ; also, he broke out 
sweating again under his clothes (for during the intermission 
we had ventured to put them on once more). 
I had objections to renewing the brandy; for the pulse had risen 
high ; his eyes had grown red and fiery ; and his legs become pre- 
ternaturally warm. I gave him, instead, another drachm of solid 
opium, in combination with common turpentine and ginger; had 
him raked for dung, but none could be found; and exhibited a 
tobacco injection. The surface of his belly, in consequence of 
the mustard embrocation not having taken any effect, l had cups 
of boiling water dashed upon. I bis made him wince every time 
it was done. After all which, having once more got him rubbed 
quite dry and warm, and made again comfortable with litter and 
clothing, he was left for a time to himself, the men being forbid 
to enter the stable unless they heard any unusual noise or cause 
for alarm. 
I returned in about an hour. The patient had been almost 
continually pawing from the time 1 left him. He had been 
down; but was now again upon his legs, and again pawing. 
He had taken two or three swallows of cold gruel; but continued
