It rarely happens that we meet with an in-stance in which the abdominal viscera havenot been more or less disturbed after deathfrom their natural relations to one life the contractile walls of the ab-domen, ever active, maintain such a uniformdegree of pressure on the contained organs,that displacements or alterations of positionsare very rare occurrences excepting throughsome preternatural opening in the abdominalparietes. It is advisable to study the positionsof the contents of the abdomen in a body re-cently dead, and which has not experiencedany degree of disturbance. I. RAP TORES. Body, very muscular.
