Her compt a pure Colic without inflammation
If it is attended as common to such ailments with
Costiveness - the first thing to be done is to open
the Belly by a Glyster or if these do not answer
by Medicines by the mouth ----- see below.

While measures are taken to open the Belly the
pain is to be relieved by warm cloths applied to
the Belly or by cloths wrung out of boiling Water &
applied as hot as they can be born. - The Disease
frequently comes on & is commonly attended with a coldness
of the feet, & this is to be removed as soon as possible
by warm Cloths boiled bricks or Bottles of hot water
When the Belly is sufficiently opened it will be
proper to give thirty Drops of L. L. & if that does
not give entire relief, thirty or at least twenty drops
more maybe given in an hour or two after.

If after these remedies the pain should in some
degree remain or return next or in some day soon
after the same course of Purging & L. L. is to be repeated.
In some more obstinate Cases it is of great service to
put the Patient up to the waist in a warm Bath or
if that is not easily to be had, a fomentation of
the Belly for an hour or two - see directions for Mrs
McNab. -

One of the most troublesome circumstances wc

It sometimes happens that at first there is not
inflammation attending Colic; but when the Disease
proves both violent & obstinate some inflammtn
often comes on & maybe suspected when a consi¬
derable degree of Fever arises & in that Case it is
necessary to take blood from the arm more or less
according to the Urgency of Symptoms & the
date of the Strength of the Patient --

These are the measures I can advise; but in the
case of any future Colics; but for the present it is
probable that the Disease has taken a Turn one way
or other before this comes to hand; but by considering the
above it may be percieved how far one, or other of the
Remedies above proposed may be proper.
