The nipple- like process in the centre above, or middle lobe of Sir Everard Home, must have proved a considerable impedi- ment to the passage of the urine. Yet the patient had accomplished that necessary process for several years, with- out any artificial assistance. Does this power of accom- modating itself strengthen Sir Everard’s opinion concerning the original formation of that process or lobe? Between the posterior surface of the prostate, and that part of the bladder in contact with the rectum, a large abscess was formed, which so aggravated the symptoms, as to terminate existence. • * - It has been very justly remarked by Sir Everard Home, that the left side, or what he designates the left lateral lobe, increases more rapidly than the right, and that in some cases it projects into the cavity of the bladder, as much as the middle lobe. Some authors have noticed the same occurrence in the testes, and that hydroceles, and other diseases, are found more frequently in the left than in the right testicle. • * *
