"Cube colic" is described and vain attempts to cause the problem on an experimental basis are recorded. It is concluded that not all horses are susceptible to cube colic and if colic occurs in horses being fed on cubes, it is not necessarily due to feeding of cubes. Nomenclature of bowel disorders is considered.
文中描述了“方块料绞痛症”，并记录了在实验基础上引发该问题的徒劳尝试。得出的结论是，并非所有马匹都易患方块料绞痛症，而且如果食用方块料的马匹出现绞痛，不一定是由喂食方块料导致的。文中还对肠道疾病的命名法进行了探讨。
