Price mentions the case of a groom who was kicked over the kidney by a horse, and eighteen months later died of dropsy.

Postmortem examination showed traces of a line of rupture through the substance of the gland; the preparation was deposited in St.

George's Hospital Museum in London.

The case is singular in that this man, with granular degeneration of the kidney, recovered from so extensive a lesion, and, moreover, that he remained in perfect health for over a year with his kidney in a state of destructive disease.
