    FOUR CASES OF ANEURISM OF THE ARCH OF THE AORTA, AND A CASE OF DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA * By JOHN REID, M. D., F. R. C. P. E. Lecturer on Physiology, President of the Anatomical Society, &c. fFrom the Edin. Med. and Surg. Journal^ No. 142.^ I HAVE had occasion, witliin the last eighteen months, to in- spect in the Royal Infirmary the bodies of nine individuals who died from aneurism within the thorax, and I have drawn up ac- counts of the morbid appearances observed. Four of these cases, from the rarity of their termination, appear to me to be of suffi- cient interest to be considered contributions to the morbid ana- tomy of aneurism of the arch of the aorta, and will be found in the following pages nearly in the same form, with the exception of a few verbal corrections, as I have entered them in the Registers of Dissections kept in the Infirmary. Of the five cases not detailed here, in one, the aneurism was placed upon the middle part of the • Publislied by permission of the Managers of the Royal Infirmary, and of the Physicians under whose charge the patients were placed.
