In the lift of difeafes prevailing for fome 
weeks, thofe which have their feat in fome 
part of the alimentary canal have formed 
the largeft preportion. That which makes 
a principal figure in the lift for the pre- 
fent month, is the Cholera Morbus. . Of 
patients Jabouring under this, the number 
has been uncommonly large. This 'dif- 
eafe, indeed, may be confidered as the epi- 
demic otf the autumnal months. It is 
characterifed by a very copious difcharge 
oo 
! 
from the ftomach and bowels : purging 
and vomiting are the mofk prominent 
fymptoms. . Thefe, in fome cafes, go on 
at the fame time.; but, in others, they oc- 
cur alternately. The fluid difcharged 1s 
ofa bilious natures Dr. Saunders oblervess. 
that ** it is bile ina very difeafed ftaté 5° 
and he thinks it ‘* probable that, froma 
the quantity fécreted, and the rapid man- 
ner in which it is potired i into the duode- 
num, there is not time fufhicient for a pers 
fe&t fecretion ; that the, fluid, therefores 
is fomewhat of an intermediate nature be- 
tween blood and bile.”’. The difeafe is of- 
ten preceded by uneafinefs in the ftomach 
and bowels ; a fenfe of fulnefs about the 
prcordia, heartburn, and flatulence, fome- 
times give warning of its approach ; and 
in the courfe. of the difeafe there is ‘atten 
not only pain, but confiderable diftention 
of the abdomen. Spafmodic affections of 
the lower extremities alfo form afymptom 
of the complaint. Retention of urine is, 
in fome inftances, a fource cf additional 
diftrefs to the patient ; and, if thefe fymp- 
toms are accompanied by peneral convu!- 
fions, a fatal termination muft be expeéted. 
Though this difeafe feems to depend fox 
its principal occafional caufe on the’ heat: 
which prevails at this feafon of the year, 
or.on the fudden change of. temperature ; 
yet it. may often be produced more haftily. 
by filling the fomach with large quantities. 
of indigettible food. 
In the number of cafes referred to in, 
the lift, not any one proved fatal, “The 
cure was in general.conduéted by diluc- 
tion of the contents of the ftomach and - 
bowels, by fome emollient and demulcent 
liquids, and by interpofing an anodyne, 
as it» was found neceffary, for the abate.
