or BLIND-GUT. See Anatomy, p. 354.
Dr. Muirgrave gives us an account, in the Philosophical Transactions, of the cecum of a dog being cut out, without any prejudice to the animal. Mr. Giles gives us another of the cecum of a lady being distended, so as to form a tumour that held almost three cups of a thin, greyish, almost liquid substance, of which she died. And Mr. Knowler a third, of a boy's cecum being Coefficients being vastly extended and stuffed with cherry-stones, which likewise proved mortal.
