- Sarcocele In a Bhic.lz Man. Sy 
Its weight I will only fhte at fifty pounds, as it was efti- 
mated bv Mr bishopp, though I believe it to have been more, 
and indeed from its dimenfiom, and from its beinr a folid mafs, 
it muff certainly have exceeded that weight. It was of an ob- 
long form, and refembled in fome meafure the fhape of the 
fcrotum of a bull. It felt very hard to the touch, and the Ikin 
of it was lo tight, that it could not be pinched by the fingers 
The penis was quite hid in the bulk, as generallv happens 
when the fcrotum is much extended, and may be eafily com- 
prehended by thofe who have feen large ruptures. The fkin of 
the perinreum and of the abdomen was drawn downwards, 
the navel being nearer to the os pubis than it is in the natural 
Hate. There was a large aperture formed by the fkin about a 
foot downwards from the os pubis, rather inclining towards the 
right-fide, out of which the urine came, which, however, 
did not run in aflream, but came irregularly from all the inte- 
rior fides of the aperture. When he made water, he inclined 
the mafs, w'hich refted on the ground, a little forwards, and 
he held a wooden bowl clofe underneath the aperture, into 
which the urine was immediately received, that it might not 
run along the mafs, and occafion excoriation. 
There was an ulcer on the anterior part of the fcrotum,. 
rather towards the left-fide, of about two inches long, and one 
inch broad and deep. He laid, that it had begun with apuftule' 
or boil, which being broke had gradually increafed to this ex- 
tent. The pus which came from it was white, thick, and of 
a good kind. The bottom of it was red, and, when touched 
with the probe, gave him very acute pain. The edges of it 
were not very callous, and in appearance it did not much differ 
from an ulcer of a good kind in any other flefhy part of the 
body. No other remedies were applied to it but thofe generally
