^munication it might have with the Guts, but difcovered 
neither hole, nor any appearance it might have ; the in- 
terior membranes were very beautiful, and all the parts 
of the Swelling, as well as of the neighbouring Organs, 
appeared very (bund. 
Though 1 perceived no Communication this Tumor 
had with the lleon, yet fome muft have been in the bc- 
. ginning of this Tum,or, by which it difcharged its . 
grofs Excrements ; but after this Evacuation I believe 
that this opening was ftopt, and that the fides of this 
great bag, which had come clofe together, by the going 
out of this .grofs Matter, did by degrees ftrctch and 
.open themfelves to receive this Heterogeneous Stuff, 
which I found there, produc'd either by the Glands of 
thefe parts, or fome lymphatick VelTels which I faw 
there, or fome Fluid Bodies expreft from the Chyle or 
other Humors. The Compreflion which the Tumor 
made on the Bladder , made the Urine run out 
as faft as it came in its Sphinfter not being able to 
refift the violence of this load. 
Perhaps the Patient might have been Cured, if they 
had opened theTumor when it appeared the fecond time ; 
but the way by which (he was relieved the firft time, 
gave ground to fear they might open the Inteftines in 
this Operation, and they were always in hopes of fuch 
an Evacuation, as they had the firft time.
