"DR MADDEN
Hypsospadias is also marked. In the interest of coming generations I suggest that the parts affected should be preserved in spirits of wine in the national teratological museum."

(U15.1788)
"DR CROTTHERS

I have examined the patient's urine. It is albuminoid. Salivation is insufficient, the patellar reflex intermittent.

DR PUNCH COSTELLO

The fetor judaicus is most perceptible."

(U15.1792)
"DR DIXON

(Reads a bill of health.) Professor Bloom is a finished example of the new womanly man."

(U15.1797)
"His moral nature is simple and lovable. Many have found him a dear man, a dear person. He is a rather quaint fellow on the whole, coy though not feebleminded in the medical sense. He has written a really beautiful letter, a poem in itself, to the court missionary of the Reformed Priests' Protection Society which clears up everything"

(U15.1799)
"He is practically a total abstainer and I can affirm that he sleeps on a straw litter and eats the most Spartan food, cold dried grocer's peas. He wears a hairshirt of pure Irish manufacture winter and summer and scourges himself every Saturday."

(U18.1803)
"He was, I understand, at one time a firstclass misdemeanant in Glencree reformatory."

Three for girls: High Park, Dublin; St Joseph, Limerick; Spark's Lake, Monaghan (Thom's 1904).
"Another report states that he was a very posthumous child. I appeal for clemency in the name of the most sacred word our vocal organs have ever been called upon to speak. He is about to have a baby.

(General commotion and compassion. Women faint. A wealthy American makes a street collection for Bloom. Gold and silver coins, blank cheques, banknotes, jewels, treasury bonds, maturing bills of exchange, I.O.U's,"

(U15.1808)
"wedding rings, watchchains, lockets, necklaces and bracelets are rapidly collected.)

BLOOM
O, I so want to be a mother."

(U15.1814)
"MRS THORNTON

(In nursetender's gown.) Embrace me tight, dear. You'll be soon over it. Tight, dear.

(Bloom embraces her tightly and bears eight male yellow and white children. They appear on a redcarpeted staircase adorned with expensive plants."

(U15.1818)
"All the octuplets are handsome, with valuable metallic faces, wellmade, respectably dressed and wellconducted, speaking five modern languages fluently and interested in various arts and sciences. Each has his name printed in legible letters on his shirtfront: Nasodoro, Goldfinger, Chrysostomos, Maindorée, Silversmile, Silberselber Vifargent, Panargyros. They are immediately appointed to positions of high public trust in several different countries"

(U15.1823)
"as managing directors of banks, traffic managers of railways, chairmen of limited liability companies, vicechairmen of hotel syndicates.)"

Bloom, are you the Messiah ben Joseph or ben David?

BLOOM

(darkly) You have said it.

BROTHER BUZZ

Then perform a miracle like Father Charles."

"BANTAM LYONS

Prophesy who will win the Saint Leger."

(U15.1839)

The filly Pretty Polly (the favourite) was to win the Saint Leger in (September) 1904. She was Irish, chestnut in color, and foaled in 1901. Her sire was Gallinule, and her dame Admiration. Her jockey was Willie Lane, her owner Eustace Loder, and her trainer Peter Gilpin.
The Saint Leger Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race for 3 year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies. It is run over a distance of 1 mile 6 furlongs and 132 yards (2,937 metres) at Doncaster Racecourse (England). It takes place yearly, in September. First held in 1776, it is known as 'the oldest classic turf race.'
"(Bloom walks on a net, covers his left eye with his left ear, passes through several walls, climbs Nelson's Pillar, hangs from the top ledge by his eyelids, eats twelve dozen oysters (shells included), heals several sufferers from king's evil, contracts his face so as to resemble many historical personages,"
