    &c. also mention rases of phrenic her- nia. The disease is quite out of the reach of art. Mesenteric Hernia.—If one of the lay- ers of the mesentery be torn by a blow, while the other remains in its natural state, the intestines may insinuate them- selves into the aperture, and form a kind of hernia. The same consequence may result from a natural deficiency in one' of these layers. Mr. A. Cooper re- cords a case, in which all the small in- testines, except the duodenum, were thus circumstanced. The symptoms du- ring life were unknown. (On Crural Hernia, &c. p. 82.) Mesocolic Hernia.—So named by Mr. A.Cooper, when the bowels glide be- tween the layers of the mesocolon. There is a specimen of this disease, preserved at St. Thomas's hospital. Every surgeon shofuld be aware, that the intestines may be strangulated with- in the abdomen from the.following cau- ses: 1. Apertures in the omentum, me- sentery, or mesocolon, through which the intestine protrudes. 2. Adhesions, leaving an aperture, in which a piece of intestine becomes confined. 3. Mem- branous bands at the mouths of hernial sacs, which becoming elongated, by the frequent protrusion and return of the viscera, surround the intestine, so as to strangulate them within the ab- domen, when returned from the sac. (See A. Cooper on Crural Hernia, &~c. p. 85.) Pott remarks, that Ruysrh gives an account of an impregnated uterus being found on the outside of the abdo- minal opening; and so do Hildanus and Sennertus. Ruysch also gives an ac- count of an entire spleen having passed the tendon of the oblique muscle. And I have myself seen the ovaria removed by incision, after they had been some months in the groin.
