toms denote the presence of a chordee. i 
In consequence of the inflammation, it sometimes happens t at a 
the time of making water, owing to the rupture of some small bloos 
vessel, a slight hemorrhage ensues and a small quantity of blood is 
voided. In cousequence of inflammation, the foreskin likewise be- 
comes often so swelled at the end that it cannot be drawn back ; or, 
that being drawn behind the glans, it cannot be returned. Now and 
then, from the same-cause, little hard swellings arise on the lower 
surface of the penis along the course of the urethra; and these 
haps suppurate and form into fistulous sores. _ ie 
‘The adjacent parts sympathising with those already affected, the 
bladder becomes irritable and incapable of retaining the urine for 
any length of time, which gives the patient a frequent inclination to 
make water, and he feels an uneasiness about the scrotum, peri- — 
neum, and fundament. Moreover, the glands of the groin grow indu- 
rated and enlarged, or perhaps one or both testicles becomes swelled 
and inflamed ; in consequence of which he experiences excruciating 
pains, extending from the seat of the complaint up into the small 
of the back, he gets hot and restless, and a small symptomatic fever 
arises. : Be ee rg 
In consequence of the inflammation of the poison extending al ong 
the urethra, it sometimes happens that the mucous membrane if the 
bladder becomes thickened, indurated and ulcerated, and pours out 
a considerable quantity of mucous purulent matter, which added to 
the urine, gives it the appearance of whey. aia? 
Where the parts are not occupied by much inflammation, few or 
agitate shore mentioned symptoms will arise, and only a dis- 
charge with a slight heat or scalding, in making water, will prevail,

_ Another risk arising from a long continuance of a running, espe- 
cially if it has been. attended with inflammatory symptoms, or has 
been of frequent recurrence, is the taking place of one or more stric- 
tures in the urethra; for, the urethra being excoriated by the con- 
tinual flux of acrimonious matter, Nature, too hasty in generating new
