The attack is very different from that of the acute species: it advances by degrees, manifesting itself only by occasional super- ficial pricking pains over the abdomen, without producing any inclination to go to stool: the pulse is somewhat accelerated, and the tongue (particularly in the morn- ing) is slightly covered with a white fur. There is also considerable thirst; yet I have never observed any exacerbation of branas, quas abdomini ventrisque partibus obtenduntur, Hi dolores, etsi nullo jure ad coli tormentum pertinent, quoniam tamen eque graves sunt, ac pene similes, neque etiam spatiis locorum multum dissident, eos hic quoque ponere recte posse videor. Sunt autem hi, ut gravissimi, sic admodum diuturni, &c.—Lommius. Obs. Med. Ed: Edinb. p. 196. Alii insuper cruciatus, quadam similitudine et vehemen- tia colic] nuncupantur, quibus tamen non in colo intestino sedes est, sed vel in Peritonzo, vel in’ membranis que abdo- mini ventrisque parubus obtenduntur. Hi sane gravissimi sunt, et admodum diuturni, &c, Fernclius Patholog. lib. vi. cap. 10.
