Note 92 — OF THE JAUNDICE.
Reading edition
See the Case of a Jaundice in Bonetus’s Sepulchretum Anatomicum, tom. II. p. 326, where the Sides of the common biliary Duct were compressed by an Enlargement of the Glands about the vena portarum; and we sometimes meet with a Jaundice in pregnant Women which goes off after Delivery, and seems to have been caused by the Pressure of the Uterus and indurated Fœces in the Colon. Van Swieten says, he has seen this very frequently, vol. III. sect. 918, p. 95.
