A. young: Child oF an Apothecary in Soutbwark, was highly aflliéted in his Bowa-ls, which gave him great pain and inquietude, bringing a clot}: to the Tragedy of. his dolorous Life. VVherr-tvPotr the inward Recefles of the lower Venter being inipeéted, and the Guts Opened, they were found univerfally turgid with bilious Humors, flowing from the Liver ( the Colatory of the Blood ) which was high. ly tinged with Choler, dilperfed through the whole mafs of vital Liquor.

Colick pains ( called by the Latina", Dolores ten/I‘m, aflatibws membrane: . rolz' di/iemlemibm) do arife from a great quantity of flatulent Matter, feat- gocniiiifined in the Cells of the Colon whence enfueth a great dif'cention of this great 323.35%: Gut (compofed of many nervous Fibrils ) flowing from inflation, made by agrear deal of thin Matter, oFan expanlive Nature, which is often confi; ned within the Cavity of the Guts, by a quantity of hard Excrements, hin~ dring its palfage through the Inteltines. And before I Treat any more of the ptogrefs of this Dileafe, Iwill endeau vour to give fome account of the flatulent Matter, its Pedigree, and Caufes; if it be confidered in a natural State, it may prove ferviceable to the IntePtines, as-it is mild and grateful, asa gentle Flatus is generated out oilaudaa ble Chyle 5 Whereupon it giveth no trouble, or difcompofure to the Guts by 337,35???" immoderate inflation, but rendreth them more active and vigorous, by gi- 3:52,: 3:21." ny proper Medicines, good againfi Wind (and to refine and fweeren the Mill; ) and very aperitive of the I iver, and alto advifed the Nurfl: to take l'oii'ets, \Vater-gruel, Barley-gruel, Broths, 6m and to forbear all Flerh Meat, during the great illnefs ofthe Child.
