Her symptoms were those of peritonitis, with some colicy pain, but no more vomiting than would have been caused by the active cathartics she took ; the effect of these last being very partial.
The appendix cseci adheres strongly to the mesentery by a fibrous band that arises from its extremity, and that is not larger than a knitting-needle. The very lower extrem- ity of the ileum, to the Extent of 4 or 5 in., is the portion strangulated ; but the strangulation was by no means tight, even in the recent state.
