![749. Part of a bladder and urethra, laid open to show a stricture at the anterior part of the membranous portion of the urethra. 750. An urethra and bladder laid open to show that ulceration was taking place in the membranous part of the urethra to form a new passage for the urine ; in consequence of four strictures, whose situations are pointed out by bristles inserted into them. The urethra is diseased through almost its whole extent; the spongy texture of the parts is nearly obliterated? having become rather ligamentous than spongy; and the bladder* is much fasciculated. 751. A penis and bladder, showing extensive ulceration of the urethra beyond the scrotum; and a fistula in perinseo. 752. A thickened and fasciculated bladder, with fistula in perinseo, in con- sequence of stricture in the urethra. A white bristle is passed through the stricture, and a black one through the principal sinus of the fistula. 753. A penis, scrotum, and part of the bladder. The urethra has been laid open to show a contraction of considerable extent, anteriorly to the verumon- tanum. This contraction is marked by bristles. [It is sufficiently evident that in an endeavour to relieve this constriction by the use of bougies or other instruments, the urethra has been lacerated, and a new passage formed, (which is indicated by a black bristle;) in consequence of which the urine escaped, an abscess formed, and extended to the scrotum and buttocks, occasioning numerous external fistulous openings, many of which are also pointed out by bristles.] 754. A bladder, scrotum, and penis, partially laid open to expose the cavity of an abscess in the perinaeum, communicating with, and probably originating in, the urethra; and, like the preceding preparation, having a number of fistulous canals opening externally. 755. The penis and bladder from a case in which ulceration, escape of urine, and mortification, extended throughout the whole length of the canal of the urethra and body of the penis. The bladder itself is exceedingly thickened, and its internal surface is in a highly inflamed state. 4. Bladder diseased in consequence of Stricture. 756. A bladder diseased in consequence of stricture in the urethra. 757- A portion of bladder diseased in consequence of stricture.
