touch, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left of the umbilicus.
At last under the right false ribs another hard tumor was found,
slightly, indented, not well defined, but painful when pressed, and
which gave rise to the idea that a new growth depended from the liver;
but repeated examinations showed that its size was very variable, that
prolonged pressure of the fingers caused its gradual disappearance, and
that is was most evident during the violent gastric crisis from which
the patient suffered; it was caused purely by the contractions of the
hypertrophied muscle, on the right side, resting upon a solid surface
formed by the increased mass of the liver, [52]. ►
