a kind of hydrocele, to which the people of Malabar are very subject.—Its origin is derived from the bad quality of the country waters, impregnated with certain salts, the source of most other diseases that affect the Malabarians. Its signs, or symptoms, are an erysipelas of the scrotum, returning every new moon, by which the lymphatics, being eroded, pour a ferous saline humour into its cavity. The andrum is incurable; those once seized with it have it for life; but it is not dangerous nor very troublesome to those used to it; though sometimes it degenerates into an hydrofarcocoele. The method of prevention is by a heap of sand fetched from a river of the province Mangatti, and thrown in the wells. This is practised by the rich. As to the cure, they have only a palliative one; which is by incision, or tapping, and drawing off the water from the scrotum, once in a month or two.
