When the obstruction has been overcome

When the obstruction has been overcome, let a few ethereal enemas be administered to allay any local irritability; and a dose of the purgative pills followed, six hours afterwards, should they not have operated, by one of castor-oil mixture, blended with half a scruple of chloroform being given to unload the cæcum. The medicine having acted freely, the food must be amended, the treatment altered, and such other measures taken as the digestion may require for its restoration.
