were administered, morning, noon, and night. On the 5th 

 the urine still passed involuntarily. Cold lotions were 

 employed, and tonic and astringent medicines administered, 

 with castor-oil. He gradually got well, and no trace of 

 the disease remained, until June 6th, when he again became 

 thin and weak, and discharged much bloody urine, but 

 apparently without pain. The uva ursi, oak bark, and 

 powdered gum arabic were employed. On the 12th he had 

 become much better, and so continued until the ist of July 

 when he again exhibited the same complaint more violently 

 than before. He was exceedingly tender on the loins, and 

 screamed when he was touched. He was bled, returned to 

 his uva ursi and powdered gum, and recovered. I saw him 

 two years after apparently well.
