The Periltaltick Motion of the Guts, is highly violated in a Dy/eflmy, which may admitthis Definition, As being an Ulcer of the Intellines, accompanied with frequent Stools, and great tortures of the Bowels, proceeding from a lharp corroding Matter. D)fmtcrier are often complicated with other Difeafes of the Guts, as Inflammations, Alilceflcs, Ulcers, Gangreens, and Mortifications. Inflammations of the Guts producing D)fentcricr, are molt commonly feared in the great Guts, which proceeding from a quantity of Blood (impelled by the Mefenterick Arteries into the IntCIlZlDCS) fome part of which is Itagnant in the fubflancc of the Bowcls, and other parts, are Tranlinitted fonietiines into the fmall Guts, where it feldom malteth any long flay, as being thrown from thence into the Colon, wherein the Blood is long detained by rcafon of its great Cells, as f0 many allodgments of the Contents of the Guts; whereupon this tender frame of the Coats, bath the dilad- to others, I humbly conceive this Cryflalline Liquor, fornewhat refem- new". mation of the bling the White of an Egg, to be the unkindly Recrement of the Inteflines, proceeding from an ill SIICCHJ" Nutricim, by realon the Serous parts of the blood, mixed with Nervous Liquor, are not truly AHimilated, and turned into the fubflance of the Intellines, by reafoii of this Inflammatory and of.

An lnftancc may be given of this Difeafe in an ordinary Woman, who was highly vexed with a Bloody Flux, which after many Prclcriptions, proved Mortal 5 and the lower Apartimcnt being opened, many Tumours a peared in the Iiitefiiiies, filled with purulent Matter: Which is frequentl)' derived in Dyfwtcriu, from an ill Mafs of Blood, confifiing of fierce falinc and {ulphiireous Heterogeneous Particles, which being carried by the Mefentcrick and Hypogaltrick Arteries into the various Guts, do often torture their fine Compage, and do often lodg in the glandulous Plexes, and enlarge their circumferences, and alfo have recourfe to the Nervous Coat of the vantage of being corroded by the great confinement of the {harp Blood, in lntcltines; which they molt highly torture with an Arfenical Poylon of the deep Cavities of the Colon. great fiercenefs in Malignant Dyfenfericf. ‘ A Child about Five Years old, being afllified with a Bloody Flux, dld throw off plentiful Excrements by Stool, tinged with various Colours of Efifistfiifl‘fi; "m""thFm ii'i'riiicrlizfi momma with the Jute. auxin 'ci , arcnm','ur",fca In this vencnate Difeafe of the Inthi'scafc Guts, gentle Purgatives may be given, mixed with Alexipharmical Mcdi- gum PM" tivcsma be tines, as Tbcriaca Andra/meld, Diafcordium, and Sweating Medicines pre. iiiiiino‘gifid Red, Yellow, and Black, and about the Seventh day, the young Patient grew very weak arid Faint ; the confeqnents of many Bloody dejeétions, and pared with Bezar, and other Cordial Powders of Lapir Contrawrwe, e.
