HILTON, MR. J.

A course of Clinical Lectures delivered at
Guy's Hospital:

Lecture IV.-Case of stone in the bladder, case
in which the patient died with the calculus
in the bladder, exhibition of the preparation,
details of the case; the symptoms of stricture
of the urethra and those of stone in the
bladder compared; the pathological signifi-
cancy of an habitually hot and dry skin; the
importance of consultations; should, in the
present case, lithotomy or lithotrity be per-
formed? circumstances favourable to litho-
trity; question of the quantity of water which
should be in the bladder during the operation
of lithotrity; appearance of the urine, micro-
scopical examination; determination of the
lesion which produces hæmaturia; reasons for
not using leeches in peritonitis connected
with diseased kidney; the advantages of wash-
ing out the bladder; quotation of a case in
which this practice was especially useful;
symptoms of urea in the blood, somnolency,
irritable bladder; good effects of chloroform
applied to the hypogastrium; nervous irrita-
bility brought on by poisoned blood; death by
coma, post-mortem examination; urine in the
cavity of the abdomen, pus in the kidneys,
parietes of the thickened bladder of a green
colour; attempt at an explanation of this
phenomenon; cause of the thickening of the
bladder, and of the formation of sacculi;
decomposition of the urine retained in these
sacculi, 167

Lecture V.-Remarks on the case of calculus
in the bladder, related in the last lecture;
recapitulation of the facts of this case, con-
siderations touching the amount of dilatation
which the urethra should undergo by the use
of catheters, rules regarding this dilatation,
which is generally carried too far; the meatus
urinarius is the criterion or gauge; case in
which over-dilatation might have done much
harm; another case in which over-dilatation
and slitting up of the meatus failed to effect a
cure; good results in the same case obtained
by a second surgeon in adopting an opposite
course; remarks on this case; question as to
when a stricture of the urethra may be consi-
dered cured; distinction to be made as to the
age of patients; enumeration of the signs which
point out that a stricture is quited cured,-
viz., 1. Unobstructed passage of the instru-
ment; 2. Nature of the stream; 3. Complete
emptying of the bladder; 4. No ammoniacal
odour; 5. Absence of mucus or pus; 6. Ab-
sence of any discharge; remarks on the
causes of constitutional disturbance in cases
of stone in the bladder, disease of the kidney
one of the principal causes, danger of resort-
ing to operations of any kind with patients
labouring under disease of the kidney; paral-
lel between the symptoms produced by the
presence of a stone in the bladder and those
depending on diseased kidney; symptoms
exclusively owing to the presence of the cal-
culus; case illustrating such influence, for-
