DEFINITION: In concluding these remarks upon the 'Definition' of Dysentery- I would re-iterate the fact
that the term 'dysentery' is a purely symptomatic
one, and must be taken in a clinical sense only,
it is indelibly fixed in the mind of the non-medical
world as the name,'par excellence' for all severe
diarrhoeas -- more especially if accompanied by the
classical symptoms, colic and tenesmus, with passage
of blood and mucus, but to the medical man it must
always appear almost as indefinite as 'Cancer' or '
'Fever'.

HISTORY: dysentery in all its different forms, may be but one
disease, or different forms of the disease may be
caused by separate specific organisms. Even though
Lafleur may be mistaken in his belief that amoebic
dysentery is caused by the amoeba coli, yet (as I
have pointed out under Bacteriology) there is abundant evidence to justify the clinical distinction
between the two forms into non-amoebic and amoebic.
