The glands beneath the ear were enlarged, but the bowels were regular; the nose was not hot; there was no cough. A warm bath was ordered, with aperient medicine. On the 22d she was no better. I examined the case more carefully. The left ear was exceedingly hot and tender: she would scarcely bear me to touch it.
COLUMBINE. The Leaves, Flowers, and Seeds. It has been looked upon as aperient; and was formerly in great esteem among the common people for throwing out the small-pox and measles. A distilled water, medicated vinegar, and conserve, were prepared from the flowers; but they have long given place to medicines of greater efficacy. ARISTOLOCHIA longa. LONG BIRTHWORT. The Roots.
Their imperfections pleased him, provided they were neither parasitic nor servile, and perhaps there was a grain of truth in his theory that the inferior and decadent writer, who is more subjective, though unfinished, distills a more irritating aperient and acid balm than the artist of the same period who is truly great.
Scammony is another powerful simple aperient, apt to be violent in its action, and therefore not to be given except when the bowels have long been confined, or when it is given to expel worms.

I'll send him a little quieting draught to be taken directly pill at night, aperient in the morning. If wanted, send for me always to be found. Bless me, that's my boy Bob's ring. Please to open the door, ma' am. Know his ring very peculiar knack of his own. Lay ten to one it is Mrs.
