    OF COLICS. COL ICS may be diftingulflied in a threefold manner; into the flatulent or fpalmodic, the colic from irritation, and the bilious or inflammatory colic. The flatulent and inflammatory colic are to be readily enough diftinguifhed from each other: in the flatulent colic the pain comes on by fits, flies about from one part of the bowels to another, and is much abated by a difcharge of wind either upwards or downwards; but in the inflammatory colic the pain remains equable, amd fixed and fettled in one fpot; the vomitings are fevere and frequently bili- ous; the belly obftinately bound, and the pulfe always quick and feverilh. The flatulent or fpafmodic colic is to he relieved by the warm cathartic and antifpaf- modic or carminative medicines, and cup- ping glafles to the abdomen. No. xcii. R Tinft. rhabarb. fpt.
