Epidemic Dysentery.
This is essentially the same disease as the sporadic variety,
though it is usually far more dangerous, and often fatal. The
symptoms are those just described, though usually much aggra-
vated. The discharge from the bowels contains so much blood that
the disease is popularly known as bloody flux. It is especially apt
to occur when large numbers of persons are closely quartered, as
in military camps, on shipboard, and in densely populated portions
of large cities. The disease is usually accompanied by far greater
prostration and debility of the patient than is observed in the spo
radic cases. In the treatment there is, therefore, greater demand
for those measures which support the patient's strength, such as
alcoholic stimulants, and opium is ordinarily required and endured
in larger quantities than in the sporadic form of the disease.
