    ( ) whatsoever persons afflicted w'ith a disease of the hip-joint “ oflong continuance, the hip-joint stands put (from its usual “ situation) and falls back again into it 5 in them, mucuses, or mucous secretions, are attendant symptoms.” For my in- terpretation of I will quote Foesius : Interduin oiy.utV(j.ov “ esse avTu TO sic enim ’nr^lot l-AulTflui dicitur, lib. de “ art. ti38. 13. II. 825. 6.j «»ti t5 hxt utillic scribit Gal. Et. x\pli. 59 & 60. lib. G.

In regard to waXiv, the passages which J. C. quotes from Homei*, and those to which he refers in other w'riters, shew that it means retro; and I w'ould observe, that ;u/s«.vin the sense of retrovemus, sometimes means more than the mere repetition of an act as expressed by iterum. But as in the case staled by Hippocrates, the joint returns into its former situation, I have endeavoured to avoid all ambiguity by trans- lating ■cjd'Ktv back again. I do not agree with J. C. in render- ing the word zjuXti behind. Nor do 1 see how the English word
