Stools of a dark-green colour were observed, copious, thin or pasty. With the stools there was much rumbling in the ileo-caecal region and along, the transverse colon with weakness after stool. (Rh. ca. has rumbling, griping, and cutting pains in ileo-caecal region. There was more vomiting with Rh. fr. than with Rh. ca., and the former was abandoned as a cathartic because it so frequently produced vomiting instead.
