e the urine, and as no part of it is
absorbed, it becomes copious and pale. This happens from a similar cause in
cold fits of agues; and in less degree to many debilitated constitutions,
whose extremities are generally cold and pale. The great quantity of limpid
water in hysteric cases, and in diabaetes, belongs to Class I. 3. 1. 10. I.
3. 2. 6.

M. M. Tincture of cantharides, opium, alum, sorbentia. Flannel shirt in
cold weather. Animal food. Beer. Wine. Friction. Exercise. Fire.

6. _Diarrhoea frigida._ Liquid stools are produced by exposing the body
naked to cold air, or sprinkling it with cold water, for the same reason as
the last article.

But this disease is sometimes of a dangerous nature; the intestinal
absorption being so impaired, that the aliment is said to come away
undiminished in quantity, and almost unchanged by the powers of digestion,
and is then called lientery.

The mucus of the rectum sometimes comes away like pellucid hartshorn jelly,
and liquefies by heat like that, towards the end of inirritative fevers,
which is owing to the thinner part of the mucus not being absorbed, and
thus resembles the catarrh of some old people.

M. M. Opium, campechy wood, armenian bole. Blister. Flannel shirt in cold
weather. Clysters with opium. Friction on the bowels morning and night.
Equitation twice a day.

7. _Fluor albus frigidus._ Cold fluor albus. In weak constitutions, where
this discharge is pellucid and thin, it must proceed from want of
absorption of the mucous membrane of the vagina, or uterus, and not from an
increased secretion. This I suspect to be the most frequent kind of fluor
albus; the former one described at Class I. 1. 2. 11. attends menstruation,
or is a discharge instead of it, and thus resembles the venereal orgasm of
female quadrupeds. The discharge in this latter kind being more saline, is
liable to excoriate the part, and thus produce smarting in making water; in
its great degree it is difficult to cure.

M. M. Increase the evacuation by stool and by perspiration, by taking
rhubarb every night, about six or ten grains with one grain of opium for
some months. Flannel shirt in winter. Balsam copaiva. Gum kino, bitters,
chalybeates, friction over the whole skin with flannel morning and night.
Partial cold bath, by sprinkling the loins and thighs, or sponging them
with cold water. Mucilage, as isinglass boiled in milk; blanc mange,
hartshorn jelly, are recommended by some. Tincture of c
