when it becomes necessary to pass a catheter, sound, or 

 boug-ie, into the bladder, it must first be passed up the penis 

 to the extremity of this angle : the point of the instrume U 

 must then be cut down upon, and, from this opening-, the in- 

 strument can be readily passed forwards into the bladder.

Dogs are subject to two inflammatory affections, not unlike 

 to human erysipelas. The one attacks the head, and is de- 

 scribed with Mange, and with Tumours also. The other 

 affects the scrotum, and may be seen under Inflamed Scro- 

 tum. Until the diseases of dog-s are more clearly defined, 

 these may both of them be considered as an acute state of 

 mang-e, or integ-umental inflammation. They both depend 

 on plethora or repletion, and are both removed by such 

 means as deplete the system and lessen arterial action.

 bles it very intimately. Other causes will also produce a si- 

 milar appearance ; all of which are detailed under Spasm.
