The right Lobe of the Lungs adhered firmly to the 
Ribs SSd h'a^ fhr€e ExuleefiflSfiS, WhRh c6titain*id pu- 
rulent Matter. It was fb very thin and compad, thaa 
it Ihem’d as if that Lobe had never been of life id 
Reipiration. The left Lobe was of a more florid Red^ 
fpongy, and free from any Adhefioft. 
Upon enquiring after the Symptoms this Child had 
been aflet^ed with, his Mother told me, he feem’d tO' 
be healthy till he was about a Month old, when he 
Was feized with a vidlerit Vomiting, and a Stoppage 
of Urine and Stool. Sothe time after« both thele 
became more regular, blit , the Vomiting ftill continued* 
^e (eeni’d to have a great Appetite, taking, what Sutk,^ 
Drink, or dtlier ^dod was oner’d him, with a kind of 
eagerneis ; but he immediately threw it all up again* He 
bad all along breathed freely, and had no Cough, 
notwithfianding the Exulceracions above mention'd* 
"This confirm'd me in the Opinion that he had never, 
breath'd, by the right Lobe of the Lungs. , 
There could be nothing more emaciated than this 
Child was; ^d it ^ems to be worth confidering, 
ti^hether his lUhers might not be owing in a great 
nieafure to the want of the Omentum,, (for he ieem'd 
never to have had any) ; as alio, whence it is that 
cliis Part is generally confum'd in an Atrophy, and 
ip moft Hydropical Cafes, except where it feif is more.
