When the penis was erect it was bent in the form of a semicircular bow.
The Transactions of the South Carolina Medical Association contain an account of a negro of sixty who had urethral stricture from gonorrhea and who had been treated for fifteen years by caustics.

The penis was seven inches in circumference around the glans, and but little less near the scrotum.

The glans was riddled with holes, and numerous fistulae existed on the inferior surface of the urethra, the meatus being impermeable.

So great was the weight and hypertrophy that amputation was necessary.

John Hunter speaks of six strictures existing in one urethra at one time; Lallemand of seven; Bolot of eight; Ducamp of five; Boyer thought three could never exist together; Leroy D'Etoilles found 11, and Rokitansky met with four.
