In this Account also I supposed the Tumours to be from the Ovaries fallen down. _N. B._ At this Time I protest I neither had read nor heard of _Diemerbroeck_’s Opinion. Here, it is plain, is nothing but what is common to every Woman; and whatsoever Appearances may be in her, such as the Largeness of the _Clitoris_, and that Tumour in the _Labium_, that are capable of raising other Opinions, they may be deemed a morbid State in the Accretion of the Parts; and as to the said Tumour in the Labium, several of the Learned are divided about it, and their different Opinions amount to three, _viz._ 1. That such are Testes like those in Men. 2. That they are Herniæ of the Ovaria. 3. That they are Glands of an indolent Nature, void of any Use, fallen from the Groins, and grown inordinately large and hard from the same Cause that enlarges any other neighbouring Parts that exceed their natural Size. To the first of these Mr _Cheselden_, and, I am told, some others in Town, seem to assent. The second is the Opinion of Dr _Douglas_, for which see his Explanation. And the last is the Conjecture of Sir _Hans Sloane_. However, as none of these Opinions can be ascertained without a fair Dissection of such a Subject, as this is, in all Respects, and that by the best Anatomists; and tho’ many Queries and Arguments might be exhibited both for and against these Notions, we chuse rather to omit controverting any one Point, as to this Particular, for the present, and refer the Matter to the first Experiment that shall happen upon such an Occasion.
