An atlas of clinical microscopy . nsenature, may be absolutely pernicious in the hands of a careless orunconscientious physician. We will briefly relate here such a case, Plate 56 representing apicture of the discharge.

Formerly it was taken for prostatic fluid; of late,however, it has been pretty positively established that this clear,viscous, thready secretion with alkaline reaction originates from Cow-pers glands. We usually find this hypersecretion only in cases ofchronic excessive excitement of the genital system, in consequenceof masturbation or other abuse, which explains its being taken forspermatorrhoea. In some cases the quantity of this secretion passe
