XXIII. Wounds of the Bladder, are Mortal, says Hippocrates, Sect. 6. Aph. 18. If it be wound∣ed through and divided, with a large Wound, it is Mortal; but a small Wound has been known by Experience to heal up, and that firmly; and if it be incu∣rable, it must be in the Nervous Part.
XXIV. Wounds in its Carn∣ous Parts are curable; for we daily see, that Wounds made there, by Cutting for the Stone in the Bladder, are made with Safety, and soon cured, if the Body be not Cacochymick: But Wounds are with difficulty cu∣red, if made in that Part, where the Bladder is tied to the Os Sacrum.
XXV. When the Bladder is wounded, there is Pain in the Groins, and they swell above the Os Pubis: Blood comes away with the Urine, and the Urine runs out at the Wound: There is Sickness of Stomach, and in∣clination to Vomit, and they are cold and dry, vomiting Choler, or having the Hiccough.
