    experience any thing either of the hsemorrhage^ or the discharge from the rectum; but his bowels were often confined. He had used the enema al- most daily, and occasionally passed an instrument of the size of number six. CASE XXXIII. , Esq. age 28.] Jan. 7, 1823.—I had for- merly attended this gentleman many months for stricture in the urethra. Two days prior to his present application to me, he perceived a discharge of bloody matter in his motions. His general health was much deranged; he had almost constant pain at the back part of the head, in the loins, and the lower gart of the back; his bowels were also cori- fined. He had suffered from piles, more or less for years past, which he attributed to his sedentary employment, being a member of the legal profes- sion ; he commonly had a prolapsus of the rectum; he likewise experienced a difficulty in making wa- ter. I advised an enema every night, and castor oil occasionally. He continued much the same for twelve or fourteen days, when the irritability of the bladder was so much increased, that he re- quested I would examine the rectum.
