Practical observations on the symptoms, discrimination, and treatment, of some of the most common diseases of the lower intestines, and anus. Particularly including those affections produced by stricture, ulceration, and tumour, within the cavity of the rectum; and piles, fistulae, and excrescences, formed at its external opening. Illustrated by cases. To which are added, some suggestions upon a new and successful mode of correcting habotual confinement in the bowels, to ensure their regular action without the aid of purgatives; on a principle essentially conducive to the prevention of the above diseases. 1820
