The left kidney was nearly of the. fame pulpy fub- 
ftance with the right; equally contained matter, 
though not fo large a quantity, and was equally free 
from ftone, and gravel. 
The vena cava, and the emulgent vein of the left 
kidney, were remarkably large. 
The aorta was offifyed near its bifurcation into the 
crural arteries. 
Two unnatural tumors grew on the left and lower 
fide of the pelvis internally, near the junction of the 
os pubis with the ifchium. They were contiguous 
to each other; in circumference feverally fomething 
lefs than a wallnut ; and both taken together were 
three inches or more in length. When cut through 
they had the appearance of glands, and one of them 
contained matter, difleminated through its fubflance, 
in the fame manner as the kidneys. 
Upon examining the bladder, the proflate gland 
was found enlarged, and indurated, and the internal 
coat of the bladder itfelf inflamed. But neither the 
bladder, nor the ureters, contained any ftone, or 
gravel. 
No morbid appearance was obferved in the liver, 
lungs, or any other of the parts, befides thofe above 
mentioned. 
From the above obfervations it appears, that the 
cafe before us was a general inflammation in mod of 
the contents of the abdomen, and that the fuppreflion of 
urine was probably a fymptom, in confequence of the 
fwelling and induration of the proftate gland ; which 
thereby clofing the neck of the bladder, made the ufe

become extremely purulent. But as thefe colle&ions
