Laterhe caught gonorrhoea, which became chronic, and, on examinationof the urine, we und daily semen in the urine, once in the formof Plate 62—shreds, in which lymph-cells and seminal threads areagglomerated in large masses by a glutinous substance; at othertimes in the form of Plate 53—gonorrhoeal threads impregnatedwith spermatozoids.

The form of spermatorrlicea wliicli is represented on Plate Q^,the last drops of urine passed during the stool having a milkycolor and glutinous consistence, is at times diagnosed by the pa-tient himseK; he usually asserts that he observed this peculiarliquid accidentally. On taking this drop between the lingers, itgives a fatty, soapy sensation; otherwise it resembles the semen.These drops, which, under the microscope, represent pure seminalfluid, pass occasionally, but rarely, at the heginning of the stool,when the abdominal pressure commences; but generally they ap-pear at the close, when the final contractions are made by thesphincter ani, and thereby the seminal vesicles compressed. Inrare instances this seminal fluid passes some time after the comple-tion of the stool, and when the patient is alrea
