COECUM, or BLIND-GUT. See ANATOMY Index. Dr Musgrave gives us an account, in the Philosophical Transactions, of the coccum of a dog being cut
out without any prejudice to the animal. Mr Giles || Coccum. Coccum gives us another of the coccum of a lady being distended, so as to form a tumor that held almost six pints of a thin, grayish, almost liquid substance, of which she died. And Mr Knowler a third, of a boy's coccum being vastly extended and stuffed with cherry-stones, which likewise proved mortal.
