( pain). Suppressed gonorrhoea; when it has stopped, or been checked suddenly after it has appeared, and is attended with pain.

When it thus stops, a pain is continued to the bladder by the urethra; to the anus by the acceleratory' muscles of the penis; and to the testicles by the vasa defer-entia, and vesiculae seminales. These last do not al-way9bwell,but the urine is partially suppressed.

In this case, calomel repeated, so as to purge, often brings back the running, and then all difficulty from this symptom ceases. If the pain is great, and a sanguinary plethora requires it, after bleeding, may be given of calomel prepared ten grains, opium one grain, made into a bolus with conserve of roses. This should be taken at night, and followed in the morning by the infusion of senna with tamarinds.

In these and other disagreeable symptoms, such as ophthalmies, deafness, swelled testicles, etc. from the suppression of the virulent gonorrhoea, where the common methods fail of reproducing the discharge, it has been recommended to introduce a bougie into the urethra, smeared with the virus of an infected patient:

Dr. Swediaur says, "The method proposed has been tried many years ago in one of the first military hospitals in Europe, with constant success, and has since been confirmed by Dr. Lange, in his Treatise on Ophthalmia. See his Practical Observations on Venereal Complaints, p. 53.
