    curious to observe the little inconvenience which most of the individuals suffered from this abnormal condition of the aorta: one man lived to the age of ninety-three. In three cases the aorta was entirely obliterated ; two patients (5 and 9) died of rupture of the ascending aorta, another from rupture of the left ventricle, and a fourth from rupture of the right auricle. No signs exist by which these obliterations and contractions can be recognized during life. TABLE OF CONTRACTIONS AND OBLITERATIONS OF THE THORACIC AORTA, S Authorities. Symptoms, &c.
