G gallstone, so long as it saves time and gall-sac,
will cause no severe pain, it is only when the
stone works out into the icle duct that colic
develops. The colic caused by spasmodic
muscular contractions in the endeavor to dislodge the obstruction Miliary colic or gallstone is a chill act of gallstones. Intense, spasmodic pain in the upper abdomen, with collapse, followed by chill, then high fever, and finally a profuse sweat, is simple: If patient becomes jaundiced lies in the way. The diagnosis is clinched.
An inflamed gallstone, if passing in itself, whether gallstones are present or not. The patient is in direct ratio with the amount of inflammation and the extent of adhesions which hind the little egg-sized bile to surrounding structures as a result of previous inflammation.
Curing attacks of gall-sac inflammation probably depend upon retention from the original focus, the neglect of gums, ulcers, or pelvic infection.
Chronic gall-sac inflammation (cholecystitis), with or without gallstones, is frequently a cause of headaches, and sometimes of disturbances of heart action. Indeed, many a victim of alleged heart trouble is in reality suffering from cholecystitis. Operation or perhaps suitable medical treatment of the gall-sac disease improves the heart action in a way the patient and family would hardly deem possible.  Any woman around thirty-five or forty, with indigestion, "gas," and susceptibility to disease, who thinks she has heart trouble, had better find out if she hasn't gallstones.
