uring the act
the female suddenly withdrew, and the male, following, violently struck
the pubes, with the resultant injury. Recovery ensued. M'Clellan speaks
of removing the cavernous septum from a man of fifty-two, in whom this
part had become infiltrated with lime-salts and resembled a long,
narrow bone. When the penis was erect it was bent in the form of a
semicircular bow.

The Transactions of the South Carolina Medical Association contain an
account of a negro of sixty who had urethral stricture from gonorrhea
and who had been treated for fifteen years by caustics. The penis was
seven inches in circumference around the glans, and but little less
near the scrotum. The glans was riddled with holes, and numerous
fistulae existed on the inferior surface of the urethra, the meatus
being impermeable. So great was the weight and hypertrophy that
amputation was necessary. John Hunter speaks of six strictures
existing in one urethra at one time; Lallemand of seven; Bolot of
eight; Ducamp of five; Boyer thought three could never exist together;
Leroy D'Etoilles found 11, and Rokitansky met with four.

Sundry Injuries to the Penis.--Fabricius Hildanus mentions a curious
case of paraphimosis caused by violent coitus with a virgin who had an
extremely narrow vagina. Joyce relates a history of a stout man who
awoke with a vigorous erection, and feeling much irritation, he
scratched himself violently. He soon bled copiously, his shirt and
underlying sheets and blankets being soaked through. On examination the
penis was found swollen, and on drawing back the foreskin a small jet
of blood spurted from a small rupture in the frenum. The authors have
knowledge of a case in which hemorrhage from the frenum proved fatal.
The patient, in a drunken wager, attempted to circumcise himself with a
piece of tin, and bled to death before medical aid could be summoned.
It sometimes happens that the virile member is amputated by an animal
bite. Paullini and Celliez mention amputation of the penis by a
dog-bite. Morgan describes a boy of thirteen who was feeding a donkey
which suddenly made a snap at him, unfortunately catching him by the
trousers and including the penis in one of the folds. By the violence
of the bite the boy was thrown to the ground, and his entire prepuce
was stripped off to the root as if it had been done by a knife. There
was little hemorrhage, and the prepuce was found in the trousers,
looking exactly like the finger of
