It was also relieved by straining and the consequent expulsion of a long train of slippery bubbles of wind, with a small quantity of bland mucus; it returned in the same fashion at intervals of from five to fifteen minutes. Finally, towards 5 P.M., a very painful expulsive pressure ensued, and in a short time a quantity of thin fæces passed involuntarily through the sphincter at a single impulse; it was perfectly bland, causing not the slightest burning or smarting at the anus, which was rather protected all about by the slippery mucus, of which a great portion of the passage consisted; the pains in the abdomen all disappeared with this passage, 31.*
