A warm bath is useful, and hot flannels, or a jar or bottle filled with hot water should be applied to the abdomen. _Medicines_. Aconitum napellus, especially when the abdomen is tender to the touch, and the patient is feverish; Belladonna for severe griping and spasmodic pains; Bryonia for bilious colic and diarrhoea; Chamomilla for children.
