FIG. 25. Dissection of an old subject in whom the aorta was diseased and dilated, 

 and in consequence the heart displaced downwards and hypertrophied. The 

 drawing also shows backward displacement of the pulmonary trunk. Below the 

 diaphragm the relation of the splenic flexure of the colon to the stomach 

 chamber, when the latter viscus is contracted, is well seen ; also the relation 

 of the stomach to the pericardial sac.
