Practical observations on some of the diseases of the rectum, anus, and contiguous textures : giving their nature, seat, causes, symptoms, consequences, and prevention, especially addressed to the non-medical reader . on, as its meaning is now entirely limited, bycommon consent, to the peculiar affection of the rectum, which will be describedin this chapter. t Webster defines Haemorrhoids to be A discharge from the anus; the piles ;in scripture, emerods. Sanctius, on the 6th verse of the 5th chap. 1st Samuel, says, In summa mor-bus est, qui illam prffisertim corporis partem infestat, per quam confecti cibi reli-quiffi et sordes aeguntur quas graeci hcemorrhoides; Latini, ficus aut mariscasappellant. He however says that what befel the Philistines, was something evenworse than mere haemorrhoids. The Hebrew word is Apholim*, which by modern interpreters is translatedin Latin, ficus or mariscai, that is piles, or haemorrhoids. Sanctius also says, on the ninth verse of the same chapter, that the SeptuagintChaldaic and ancient Spanish version explain apholim by haemorrhoids. Cornelius A Lapide represents that this disease was Fistula in Ano. Jose-phus says, it was a peculiar kind of dysentery. PLATE I .. a . Liternal Eles Protruded. PLATE JH
