coprostasis (constipation)
Explanation:
Coprostasis is a rather stately Greek title for the familiar subject of constipation. The book consists of two lectures on the subject, and lest one might forget what he said in the first the author repeats much of it nearly word for word in the second. Line upon line and precept on precept is a good proverb.
