flatus
noun /ˈfleɪtəs,ˈflætəs,ˈflætuːs/
a) Gas generated in the digestive tract.

[…] an incensed political surgeon, who is not in much renown for his mercy, upon great provocations: who, without waiting for his death, will flay and dissect him alive; and to the view of mankind lay open all the disordered cells of his brain, the venom of his tongue, the corruption of his heart, and spots and flatuses of his spleen: and all this for threepence.

b) Expulsion of such gas through the anus.

The point of quoque with illos is that those flatus, which have the right to be called winds, are also subject to laws like the winds themselves.
