The rectum laid open, to show internal piles. [There are two transverse ridges: the most internal of these is turgid with coagulated blood; the other, near the verge of the anus, appears to have burst and collapsed. On the cut edges of the bowel may be observed sections of some of the coagula.] 861. Internal piles, some of which are very turgid. 862. A pile. [This preparation is apparently a portion of No. 861, removed and dissected to show that a pile is composed of varicous veins; which are here seen filled with coagulated blood.] 863. Piles which surrounded the termination of the rectum of a gentleman, and were removed by operation. 864. The rectum laid open to show large piles at the verge of the anus. 2. Fistula. 865.

The lower portion of the rectum laid open; with a fistula in ano, marked by a bristle. 867. A portion of the rectum and vagina. A fistula in ano is seen extending along the side of the rectum; it is partially laid open, and bristles are placed in the external and internal orifices. 868. The lower part of the rectum, to show fistulse in ano, which have been laid open; attended with piles, and a contraction of the intestine a little way within the anus, which occasioned dilatation of the bowel beyond it. The patient had a continual diarrhoea. l 2](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0087.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
