    PLATE XII. Represents an enlarged pelvis of a kidney, injected with wax, taken from a man about fifty years of age, who died of disease in the other kidney, which on dissec- tion was found to be entirely destroyed. Notwithstanding the secretion of urine, for some time before his death, must have been carried on by one kidney only, yet there never was any diminution of the quantity. In the early stage of his complaints, he passed many pieces of fleshy substance, which in colour resembled portions of kidney: and in the bladder was found a similar substance, the size and appearance of which, is drawn on the lower part of the plate.
