The symptoms which denote thepassage of a renal calculus are, violent pain in the lumbar region, excessiveirritability of the bladder, discharge of bloody urine, numbness of the thighs,and retraction of the testicles, with sickness at the stomach and severe consti-tutional disturbance. The large strongyle (Fig. 186), a species of lumbricoid worm, has been ob- * Morgagni, de Sedibus et cans. Morb., Epist. liv., § 15.j- Traits des Maladies des Reins, t. i., p. 271.
