The passages of diarrhœa may be simply softer, but yellowish and increased in quantity, or they may be bright yellow and so watery as to squeeze out from the anus as from a syringe and soak through diapers and bedclothes, or the stools may be green, or bilious, and slimy. When children teethe they often have a diarrhœa for several days; this intestinal derangement has no connection with improper feeding, yet it requires to be watched lest it become serious and uncontrollable. There is still another kind of diarrhœa which is foamy and contains large quantities of mucus and little or no coloring matter. For the different varieties one and the same remedy will answer, and that which I here submit has never disappointed my expectation:— Take: Subnitrate of Bismuth 1 dram Powdered Kino 16 grains Rubbed thoroughly with Glycerine 1 dram Paregoric. 2 drams Chalk Mixture, sufficient to make 2 ounces Shake the mixture thoroughly before using, and the dose can be regulated between ten drops for an infant to a teaspoonful for a child three or four years old. (_c_) Dysentery or Flux is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the large intestine, or colon, extending down to the rectum. Children under one year of age are not as liable to this affection as those who are older, and it is during their first dentition that the affection shows itself. In hot summer months, at the season of unripe fruits, the disease often becomes epidemic. The loss of strength and flesh is very rapid, and when children do not perish during the first few days of their sickness, they may succumb later when the disease has assumed a chronic form. Dysentery is extremely liable to become complicated with pneumonia, anæmia, pyæmia, perforations and strictures of the intestines, jaundice and abscess of the liver, and in proportion that these complications become developed life becomes seriously threatened. The symptoms of dysentery are striking and can hardly be mistaken for anything else. There is always pain over the abdomen, but on touching the abdomen near the navel and over the course of the colon the pain is greater than elsewhere.
