 phritic difeafc, or to the obftruftion of the 

 ureters by fabulous, or calcarious matter : the 

 maladies of this fpecies, to which they are lia- 

 ble, are ftrains of the reins and kidneys, and 

 fometimes ulcerations in the latter ; fympto- 

 matic ftranguary ; ifchury, or fuppreffion of 

 urine, and diabetes, or its immoderate flux.

 p. 254. The doftor fays, " three or four times I 

 have in my praftice (when the fphin61;er 

 mufcle, or neck of the bladder, has been fo 

 '' fwelled, that it would not admit of palTing 

 " the inftrument) cut into the very body of the 

 " bladder above the Os Pubis, and let th^
