Tennant first discovered this. v. John, p. 59.— Wollaston and Fourcroy confirmed it. Not unfrequently, such earths are poured out in great quantities in the urine, sweat, ulcers, spittle, &c. We also some- times find it collected as a whitish thickish pap, as a viscid chalk in the thyroid and bronchial glands, under the inner coat of the arteries, and in other places. (3) For instance, cartilage, fibrous parts, cellular tissue, serous membranes, glands which have been emaciated or destroyed by disease, arteries, encysted tumours, dead hydatids, sarcom, even the dead child, with its membranes, if it have been retained for a long time in the mother’s womb ;—in many instances, this ossification is a fortunate effect of the healing process. It appears, in general, to occur more frequently in the male than in the female organism. - (4) Perhaps only in cartilage and in tendinous parts. (5) In these cases we are accustomed to distinguish the morbid formations by the names concrementa ossea, lapidea, &c.; if they lie very loosely, they form the transition to stones, which have no organic connexion with the body. (6) Thus it appears most frequently in and between the membranes, and then sometimes produces a kind of hard crust around an organ. (7) These lie usually in the parenchyma of an organ, and in the loose cellular tissue, although sometimes not far distant from the surface of membranes; for example, of the peritoneum, the pleura, and the inner surface of the dura mater, &c. and then, by their sharpness and irregularity, irritate the neighbour- ing organs. Here also belong the very common, and oftentimes very large, fibro- cartilaginous tumours in the substance of the womb.
