A Hernia yrow the Om^ntavn fallmg down 

 inta the Scrotum ; by Thomas Living- 

 ston, M. D. Phyfician ^/Aberdeen*. 



A Young man, aged about 28, of a very 

 tbin habit of body, and naturally of 

 a healthy conftitution, was feized with a 

 pain and uneaiinefs about the region of the 

 flomach ; for which complaints, (without 

 any regular advice) he took a vomit, which 

 operated in the ufual manner, but without 

 alleviating his former uneaiinefs. In the 

 evening of that day, about fix hours after 

 the operation of the vomit, he was feized 

 with fharp pains over all his belly, for which, 

 by the advice of a Phyiician, he was ordered 

 an emollient clyfter, and an anodyne at bed- 

 time. The clyfter operated gently, and he 

 paffed the night pretty free of pain, till to- 

 wards morning that the pain returned more 

 violent than ever ; particularly in the left 

 fide of the umbilical region, and in the left 



tefticle.
