manner as they do the Matrix, when it is big with a 
Child, of Six or Seven Months old ; no Accidents like 
a Fever, Pain, Vomiting, lofsof Blood, FluoralluSy &c, 
accompanied this Tumor , but a conftafnt voiding of 
Urine • many Phy ficians, both of Paris and the Pro- 
vinces ^ere confulted at different times ; they (earch'd 
the Patient, and agreed at length thaj it was a fcirrhus, 
Ibme plac'd it in rhe Epiploon, others in the Meftntery, 
and others faftned it to the Matrix. In view of this,
