James Shulbread at 59 complains of great pain in making water particularly about the glans penis.

The urine lately discharged is of a mucous appearance but he says that it is sometimes of a deep red colour. He has also some slight pain about the region of the loins. Belly very costive. Pulse 80 & strong. Appetite not impaired.

These complaints for which he can assign no cause are of three weeks standing. He has used no remedies.
