feme fatty, fome purulent, <&c. The Partitions be- 
tween the Cells very ftrong, cartilaginous in the Mid- 
dle, fo as to refill the Knife 5 like mufcular Flelh 
below and above this Cartilage, fo was each Cell. 
The whole Ovarium , before it was firft broke, might 
weigh about Twenty Pound Weight. The Bag of 
Water on the Right Side, was the other Ovarium, 
wherein was nothing but like a large Ox Bladder, 
containing Nine or Ten Pints of Water 5 like a 
Bladder at the lower End, and riling up like a crooked 
Horn at the other End ; the Skin was very thin and 
fmooth. The Vejica urinaria and Uterus were both 
found. 
From the above-mentioned Account you will fee, 
1 ft, That here was a triple Dropfy, viz. One inter- 
mufcular on the Left Side of the Abdomen ; One in 
the Cavity of the Belly 5 One, and the largell of all, 
in the Right Ovarium, idly. As I have before ob- 
ferve-d the like in fome others, in much the fame 
Condition; in barren Women, and Bale Maids, Tap- 
ping fhould be very cautioufly undertaken: Efpeci- 
ally when the whole Belly is not equally difiended, 
and not a free Fluctuation of the Water heard and 
obferved from Side to Side, as the Sick turn in Bed; 
but efpecially if there was, or is, a fenfible Difference 
fo be felt in the Hardnefs or Softnefs of the Parts of 
the Belly, before it is difiended monftroufly.
