 could find nothing like it. 



Of a Calculus making its JVay through an old Cicatrix in the Perinceum. By 

 David Hartley, M. A. F. R. S. N° 456, p. 349. 



William Jarman, of the parish of Bayton in Suffolk, was cut for the stone 

 about 15 years before, and a large stone taken from him. The patient con- 

 tinued easy for about 4 years after he was cut ; the wound was quite healed up, 

 and he made water in the natural way, without any leakage at the wound. In 

 July last, he felt great pain at the place where he was cut, and it was much 

 swelled. It looked black, and a little hole broke open there, out of which the 

 water came ; and a stone appearing, the hole grew wider by the force of the 

 water, and his frequently touching it, till at last the stone came away whole. It 

 was broken afterwards by a fall. 



As soon as the stone was come away he became easy, and the swelling abated. 

 The wound was afterwards reduced to a small compass; but his water came away 

 through the wound, and very little the natural way. The patient was about 

 30 years of age. The great end of the stone came away first, which he suffered 

 to lie at the mouth of the wound near a fortnight ; but he applied to no 

 surgeon. 



Of a Stone, or Calculus, making its Way out through the Scrotum. By Mr. 

 John Sisley, Surgeon. N° 456, p. 351. 



Robert Swann, of East-Mailing, Kent, a hard working man in the woods, 

 sent for Mr. S. one day to see him. He found him with a large swell- 

 ing on his testicles ; on the upper part of the scrotum, there was a small hole 

 or two, and he told Mr. S. his urine oosed out sometimes. Mr. S. passed the 

 probe in, and found a hard substance, which seemed to be large , he told him, 

 he had a large stone lodged there, at which the poor man was much surprised. 

 He said he would make an incision and take it out ; but he refused to be cut. 

 Mr. S. dilated it in another manner, made the orifice pretty large : the swelling 

 of his testicles assuaged, he went to work, as usual ; about a week's time after, 

 coming home at night with a large bundle of wood at his back, he found him- 

 self more in pain than usual ; as soon as he got home, he complained to his 

 wife, and told her he was very much in pain, he went to-bed, and desired Mr. 

 S. to be sent for immediately ; but before he could get to him, the stone forced 

 its way out ; and as soon as he came, the poor man seemed much rejoiced, and 

 told him, (as he expressed himself) the Swan had laid an egg : its weight at
