) Vomit us cmentus. A vomiting of blood. A vomiting of blood is readily to be distinguished f>om one which proceeds from the lings, by its being usually preceded by a sense of weight, pain, or anxiety in the region of the stomach ; by its being unaccompanied by any cough ; by its being discharged in a very considerable quantity ; by its being of a dark colour, and somewhat grumous ; and by its being mixed with the other con- tents of the stomach. The disease may be occasioned by any thing recei...ved into the stomach, which sti- mulates it violently or wounds it ; or may proceed from blows, bruises, or any other cause capable of exciting inflammation in this organ, or of determining too great a flow of blood to it; but it arises more usally as a symptom of some other disease (such as a suppression of the menstrual, hxmorrhoidal flux, or obstructions in the liver, spleen, and other viscera) than as a primary affection. Haematemesis is seldom so profuse as to destroy the patient suddenly, and the prin- cipal danger seems to arise, either from the great debility which repeated attacks of the complaint induce, or from the lodg- ment of blood in the intestines, which by becoming putrid might occasion some other disagreeable disorder.
