Excerpt from The Upper Canada Journal of Medical, Surgical, and Physical Science, Vol. 2: May 1852 These appearances would seem to justify the opinion that the case had been one of chronic cystitis of long standing, commencing most probably at the period of the first injury received three years before; and is an evidence of the fact that inflammation of this viscus may exist in a chronic state and be purelylocal in its character for a considerable time, slowly producing great changes in its tissues, unrevealed by any very prominent indications of disease. The length to which I have already extended this article, precludes me from adding more than that I have not yet found in the books which I have been able to con sult, the record of a similar case, presenting the pathological conditions here detailed. There are many points of practical importance involved in its history, but these I must. Reserve as the subjects of reflection and future comment.
