FALLING DOWN OF THE FUNDAMENT.

This happens frequently to children who cry much, or who have had a

diarrhœa, or from straining on going to stool. If it proceed from

costiveness, give lenitive clysters. In case the gut be swelled

or inflamed, foment with warm milk, or decoction of oak bark, or

wash frequently with cold water. The protruded parts are now to be

replaced by the finger, and supported by a truss or bandage. The

internal use of tonics will be proper.
