About this book
Intestinal ills is by Alcinous B. Jamison, and its title page lists chronic constipation, indigestion, autogenetic poisons, diarrhea and piles. The title page also lists auto-infection, auto-intoxication, anemia and emaciation as due to proctitis and colitis.
The text says that, in a healthy person, at least five pints of water are required during twenty-four hours. The text names the stomach, duodenum, small intestines, colon, sigmoid flexure, and too often the rectum as the vessels or reservoirs in the alimentary canal. The text says the varieties of inflammation can best be apprehended by considering the different characters of the exudation, which may be watery, called serous, or dense. The text says that in all cases of proctitis and constipation the diseased portion of the gut is too active in its muscular movements, contracting spasmodically.
