The smell of thefe parts was exceedingly offensive. At first sight, the villous coat seemed to have been resolved into the slime above mentioned. Yet upon a nearer inspection, we thought it more probable, that in both the caecum and colon, the villous coat, tho' diseased, was not separated, whatever it might be in the reBum, which was too putrid t(c) be minutely examined.
