The body of gentleman, who died in this
place u few days since, was opened by some
members of the faculty, for inspection from
which the following remarkable visccial
transpositon wasdiscovered; The heart was
found in the right cavity ofthc breast, with
the situation OF its auricles and ventrlclcs
reversed, and the aorta, or great artery,
arching towards the right instead OF the left
side, descending the spine i'll the usual course
of the ycna cana, which last, were situated
where the aorta should have been. The
great lobe of the liver occupied the left hy-
pochondriac region, with the small lobe cx-
tending little to the right. The spleen
was found in the right side, where the liver
should have been situated. The stomach
was reversed with regard to its position, hav-
ing the large curvature and the pylorlc orr
fee on the lett. The intestines were likewise
changed in their order of arrangement, the
dcodamus commencing and lying principally
on the left side, and the segmoid ileXurc OF
the colon Oh the right.


This examination was extended tar enough
to satisfy those present, that this anomably
was lususnaturc of the remotest enbryotic
origin, and could not possibly have resulted
from disease, at any period OF his life. l his
gentleman died in his thirtieth year, and is
said to have been remarkably healthy and
athletic until within two or three years past
during which time, he had suffered much
from disarransemcnt of the liver and spleen,
probably produced by his removal from a
northern to a southern climate, of which dis
case he ultimately died-Louisynle Post.
