Dr. Cullen's system it is the fifth species of diarrhoea; defined a diarrhoea in which the aliments are quickly hurried through the body in a nearly undigested state. Fernelius attributes this disorder to a weakness of digestion, Friend to an obstruction of the intestinal glands, and Fr. Sylvius to an obstruction of the orifice of the lacteals. Actuarius observes, that an inveterate diarrhoea or dysentery most commonly produces the distemper. The fault is generally in the stomach, as the digestion is not complete; and the unaltered food producing an unusual impression, excites the action of the intestinal fibres, and probably also of the mucous folicles. The chief remedies are warm strengthenings medicines, with moderate exercise and warm clothing. See Diarrhoea.
