(Acid nitricum?); occasional oozing sensations, which render it impossible to rest still; heat in the genitals (one hundred and eightieth day); balanorrhoea considerable, during the night, milky, and becoming yellow (one hundred and eighty-first day); balanorrhoea of prepuce slight; no urethral discharge could be detected; (* Notwithstanding frequent minute observation both by Mr. Wilson and myself throughout. *) thickening and congestion around urethral orifice, lasts several days (one hundred and eighty- second day); itching in extremity of penis, at intervals (one hundred and eighty-third day).
