    any inflammation or heat of urine, except a long continuance of tnc discharge, which becoming sharp, excoriates the surrounding parts. But in the gonorr- hoea, the discharge is preceded by inflammation, itch* and heat of urine : there is a frequent irritation to make water, and the orifice of the urinary passage becomes prominent and painful. In the fluor albus, the discharge comes on more gently, and may be produced from a variety of causes, as sprains, frequent abortion, long illness, or irregu- larity of the menses ; but in the gonorrhoea it often appears suddenly, without any evident cause. Lastly, the colour of the discharge in bad habits of body is sometimes the same, viz. yellow or greenish, but is usually more offensive, and greater in quantity j whilst that of the gonorrhoea is attended with symptoms of weakness, as well as small in quantity. But if an inflammation or chancre hap- pen to fix upon the vagina uteri, the question is then put out of all dispute, and the. disease may safely be pronounced venereal.
