He at once felt a sickening pain in the groin and became so ill that he had to dismount.
On inspection an oval tumor was seen in the groin, tender to the touch and showing no impulse on coughing.

The left testicle was in its usual position, but the right was absent.

The patient stated positively that both testicles were in situ before the accident.

An attempt at reduction was made, but the pain was so severe that manipulation could not be endured.

A warm bath and laudanum were ordered, but unfortunately, as the patient at stool gave a sudden bend to the left, his testicle slipped up into the abdomen and was completely lost to palpation.
