Observations on those diseases of females which are attended by discharges : illustrated by copper-plates of the diseases, &c. . mass. The letter A. in a por-tion which has a granulated appearance; the letterB. in a small flocculent portion, which, having lost theblood originally contained in it, forms a fine light sub-stance, which floats in the spirit.

Points to the loose flocculent substance always found af- ter death in patients who have laboured under the dis-ease. During life the flocculent substances, being vas-cular, is filled with blood, and a solid mass is therebyformed; but these small vessels emptying themselves,nothing remains but their coats, which are seen lightlyfloating in the spirit in which the preparation is placed.
