This disorder is indicated by griping pains in the bowels, which
sometimes extends upwards into and over the region of the chest.
Sometimes the pain is attended with vomiting and cold perspiration. A
warm bath is useful, and hot flannels, or a jar or bottle filled with
hot water should be applied to the abdomen.
_Medicines_. Aconitum napellus, especially when the abdomen is tender
to the touch, and the patient is feverish; Belladonna for severe
griping and spasmodic pains; Bryonia for bilious colic and diarrhoea;
Chamomilla for children.
