    PLATE XXI. Exhibits appearances of a hernia congenita in a man fifty-two years of age, who died of a compound fracture of the leg. In the early part of his life, and in the country where he resided, he was considered a curiosity, as a boy with one testicle. Notwithstanding this, when at the age of about fourteen years, a tumor appeared in the groin, it was treated as a bubo. When it afterwards reached the scrotum, the country doctor, who was ac- quainted with the peculiarity of his formation, told him it was a common rupture, and applied a truss, nor was it till he came to London many years after, that he was informed he had a second testicle. He married at thirty-six years of age, and left a family of three children.
