 one. 



The intc.nine within the sic was inflamed, hut only , a 

 sn)all part of tl)e circumference was included within the 

 stricture ; "^o that the canal was preserved, even at tiie dis- 

 eased pan, of suilicicnt size lo adinit a boogie the size of a 

 large lintier. 



The intestine above the stricture was slightly infl3.nud, 

 and rather distended with flatus; below, it was contracted, 

 and without any ap]iearance of inflammation. 



The fatal termination of this disease, when only a small 

 part of the circuriiference of the gut is included in the sac, 

 has been notic<,'d bv the late Mr. Joseph Else, in a case in 

 St. Thomas's Hospital, whicii was mistaken for an enlarged 

 gland*. The two cases are also similar in proving, that 

 stools could noi\be procured, although the intestinal canal 

 was pervious in each. I have also observed the same cir- 

 cumstance to occur in omental iKrtiia, tluuiiib Mr. C'hailes 

 Bell, in his work on Operative Surgtrv, h.i?> given an o[)po- 

 site opinion.
