aged near Forty, whom I had attended fome Weeks 
before. The Complaint was a conflant acute Pain 
on the Region of the Liver, with a Swelling, or 
more than ordinary Fnllnefs on that Side ; by prefix- 
ing of which was perceived a Fluctuation of Lome 
Fluid lying deeper than juft under the firft Tegu- 
ments. This was confirmed by Mr. Sherwood , the 
Surgeon who aflifted and examined the fame. The 
Body was opened by his Son Mr. Sherwood junior, 
when the Liver was found of a prodigious Size 
(there was a fmall Adhefton to the Teritomeiim with- 
out Inflammation) : It fpread over the Stomach quite 
to the Spleen on the left Side, and contraded much 
the Cavity of the Thorax , by prefling and thrufting 
up the Hiaphragma. On opening the great Lobe 
of the Liver, there iffued out above four Quarts of 
a limpid Water, from a Cavity formed by the pro- 
per containing Coat of the Liver; tho’ the Water 
itfelf had been contained in a Angle conglobated 
Gland, and there formed a Cyflis , which had burft, 
and was found loofe at the Bottom of this large 
Cavity. This Skin or Cyflis was not fo thin but 
Bill capable of further Expanfion. 
The Liver ftill did its Fundion of feparating the 
Gall : The Gall-bladder and its Duds were in a good 
State: The Lobulus Spigelii was much inlarg’d, and 
crumbled eafily like a Mafs of congealed Blood. 
The Patient , had no particular Thirft; nor was 
there any Alteration in the Urine, as to Quantity 
more or lefs. But fhe had this Symptom, common 
in the Hydrops TeffioriSj of not bearing any other 
Pollute
