Every victim hates to be compelled to do a thing, and the victim of proctitis and colitis is no exception to the rule.
Proctitis or colitis is a very serious disease; like a railroad injury, it is found, on examination, to be much worse than appearances at first indicated.
Proctitis, the inflammation of the rectal and anal canals, is the most common disease that afflicts the human creature from infancy to old age; and colitis is only the extension of proctitis to the colon.

This affection like membranouscolitis remains one of the mysteries of pathology and etiology.
This is the condition described by Virchow ascolitis polyposa.
For ileo-colitis and colitis the rules already given apply.
The colitis in these cases may come on suddenly with vomiting and high fever, or it begins slowly, with no vomiting and with little fever.
If any form of diarrhea is neglected, it may result in the development of ileo-colitis with all its risks and uncertainty.
