The mucous lining of the bowels became irritable, and evacuations
exhibited a tendency to diarrhœa, with bearing down and greater
rapidity of action than usual in health, [2].

Evacuations hard, with sensation of turgescence of the mucous lining of
the bowels, [2]. ► Hard, dry evacuation, with a small
quantity of blood at its termination (fourth day); following this for
four or five days the bowels were obstinately constipated, the latter
terminating in sickness and diarrhœa, with extreme giddiness and
general debility, relieved by Ipecacuanha, [1].® 2000
