► Considerable stiff pain in region

► Pain in the region of the liver, at
10.25 A.M. (second day), [54]. ► Hard sore pain in splenic region,
descending to inguinal region, across hypogastric region, quite severe

Sore pain in spleen, for two hours (third day), [61]. ► Umbilicus
and Sides. ► About 6 P.M.,
felt soreness in the umbilicus, and a sensation as though corset had

General Abdomen. ►
Rumbling in bowels, at 10 P.M. (fifth day), [51]. ►
Rumbling in the bowels, as from wind; some passed off (third day), [45]. ►
At 8.40 P.M., rumbling and gurgling with heat in the abdomen and slight
colic pains; the symptoms, except colic, continue till 11 P.M. (after
twelve hours and a half); bowels feel full, with some rumbling and heat
(second day), [54]. ► Gurgling in the bowels, with the
sensation as if diarrhœa would set in (fifth day), [38]. ► In
morning, before second dose, and lasting all day, noisy emission of
flatus from bowels (second day), [42].
► Unusual escape of flatus per anum
(second day), [44]. ► Great amount of flatulence, smelling like
carrion (fourth and fifth days), [71].
► Discharge of much foul-smelling
flatulence, from below (third day), [46b].
► Passed great quantities of flatus
(after six hours); great quantities of flatus passed; this seems to be
generated in the rectum, as there is neither distension or rumbling in
the abdomen; it is first perceived just as it is ready to escape, and if
restrained, rapidly augments in volume; there is very little odor (ninth
day), [43]. [440.] ►
Passage of much wind, odorless, [65].
► Called up by quite severe colic,
during stool and relieved by stool, at 6.30 A.M.; another slight attack
of colic; seems to be flatulent, at 7 A.M.; before and during stool, at
9 A.M., 3.40 P.M., at 6.30; slight colic before discharge, at 10.15
(third day), [45]. ► Sensation of heat in the abdomen, with
the headache (second day), [54]. ► Bloated feeling of the abdomen (fourth
and fifth days), [71]. ► A sense of distension, with soreness of
abdomen (second morning), [30]. ► (Have had uneasiness in the abdomen all
the morning, as though bowels were loose, and I should have colic; have
had similar symptoms within a week; some uneasiness in the abdomen, as
if the bowels were about to move, at 5.30 P.M.; there has been a
remission of these feelings during the day; at 8.30 P.M., rattling in
the abdomen, with feeling as though the bowels were about to move, and
that the stool would be diarrhœic (second day), [45]. ► Bowels
feel uneasy, as if they would move soon, at 5.50 P.M. (second day), [54]. ►
A feeling of looseness of bowels, with slight desire for stool, at 3
P.M. (second day); am usually regular at stool, occurring every day
about 7 P.M., [45b]. ► The bowels feet as if they would move at
any time, at 3 P.M. (third day), [54].
► Pain in the bowels, which seem to
be distended with gas; could sit up only a short time, when I would be
compelled to lie down again, on account of the pain in bowels; this pain
was worse every time I stood erect (third day), [58]. [450.] ► Woke about 4 A.M. with griping pain in
bowels; griping pains usually before the stools, but not much relieved
by the stools, Verat. alb. 30th, and old rye whisky failed to relieve;
at 10 A.M., a dry griping pain in the colon transversum (or stomach?),
(third day); slept moderately well, but the paroxysmal light gripes
disturbed me; as long as I lay on my right side, well covered up, I
could rest and doze, but as soon as I turned on my back, the griping
returned with full force, and was only relieved by turning on my right
side again (third night). The least motion increases the dry griping
pains in the upper part of the abdomen; they differ somewhat from
yesterday, as they extend to the back, causing there a lame sensation,
as if support was needed; towards evening the griping steadily increased
(in spite of Dioscorea and Lilium), and the warmth of bed was early
sought for relief (fourth day). The gripings continued the same till
about 3 A.M. (relief by lying on right side, aggravation on back), when
I rested more quietly till about 7 A.M.; off and on still griping pains
(fifth day). Off and on the reminiscences of the old intestinal cramps,
but no flatus (sixth day). Sometimes still some crampy sensation in pit
of stomach (seventh day), [38]. ► At 3 A.M., was awakened with distressing
pain in the abdomen, not relieved until 11 A.M., after the stool (fifth
day), [71c]. ►
Severe pain across the abdomen (transverse colon), (after half an hour,
second day), [49a]. ► Pinching crampy pain in the abdomen, at 3

copious loose discharge from the bowels (third day), [30]. ►

diarrhœa, [37]. ► Sharp and cutting pain in the lower part
of the abdomen, more as if in the muscles than the organs (fourth day), [49]. ►

Sphincter ani swollen and rigid; evacuation painful; rectum protruding,
swollen, and very sensitive (third day); anus still very painful (fourth

piles worse, burning, and very sensitive; used Cosmoline with excellent
