1. The iliack passion, which is a great paine, in the smaller intestines, caused, by a vio∣lent solution of continuity, with a swelling of the belly, and twi∣sting of the same, with such an obstruction thereof, that no∣thing can descend, but the humours and excrements, are some∣times violently expelled by vomit, by reason of the inverse motion of the intestines, from inflammation, retention of excrements, or

exulceration, or flatulency; it's cured, by suppositories, emollients, humecters, clysters, inunctions, oiles, cataplasmes, and fat broths, &c. if from inflammation, it's cured as other inward inflammations; if from tumours and exulceration, it's almost so cured; if from faeces hardened, by emollition, and evacuation, &c. as in the collick thence, inunctions, fomentations, cataplasmes, clysters, baths, fat broths, oile of sweet almonds, & fresh butter, &c. & Hippocrates his bellows.
