87 No sign of a second kidney could be felt on the posterior abdominal wall of left side, or anywhere else in abdominal cavity. The spleen, liver, and pancreas' appeared healthy and normal in size. The post mortem was done in the evening with the intention of simply examining the heart, but wishing to demonstrate the effect of the back pressure upon the other organs, I removed them, finishing with the kidney, when the. light was insufficient to make a dissection of the ureter and nmal vessels.
