‘nature of the cafe, The aben of. all the itil Sod of, preg- 
nancy, except at thofe periods which regularly: preceded the 
refpective deliveries ab tioned, is a ftrong argument againft 
the hypothefis of an extra-uterine fetus ; and it fhould fem by 
no means admifiible, that the bones fhould have been fo perfectly 
-ditlolved as to have formed with the PLR: and. other foft 
parts of a fcetus, one uniform and ap thy hc us mats 
of matter. Are we not thori, from the aid .com- 
plexion of the cafe, particularly from the pain inthe groin of 
the affected fide, to pronounce the svarius to have been the fuf- 
fering part ? The attachment of the ligamentum rotundum of 
the uterus to the adipofe fübftance in the BIS feems to point 
‘out, either the uferus, or fome other part connected "with it, as 
the feat of the diforder. 
A difeafed ovarium may eafily be conoid to acquire a fize 
too great to admit of it’s being contained in the pelvis, and from 
it elevation in the abdominal region, the uterus itfelf might 
alfo be raifed, and a diftention of the ligament. thereby be pro- 
duced. But it is farther probable, that from an immediate ad- 
hefion of the ovarium to the neighbouring part of . the. MIT, 
the infammation with which. thole parts might be affected, 
would extend to the ligament itíelf ; the former. caufe operating 
in conjunction with Be: would fufficiently account for the 
pain in the groin of the affected fide ; and the application, of 
this poling in the above inftance, together with the other facts 
Contained in the hiftory, might enable us, without much diffi- 
culty, to form a pretty fure diagnofis of the difeafe.
