red Gravel, and partiojk4y 5 about three yeare* after (he took 
them, flie voided a confidefable reddifti ftone. When I ask'd 
her about the manner of >ffe#ing her Body at the comming 
forth < she anfwer'd , Twas much like a common fit of the 
Stone, onelyitheld her longer flatting fome weeks) bow'd 
h\er fadly forward, ( as a Stone often does in the Vreters,) pro- 
vok'd to Vomitings, and particularly flic felt it crowd lower and 
lower from the Kidney to the Bladder, in the left Vreter. Asking 
her farther , Wether flie was fure, it came by the paffage of v- 
riw> and not by Siege f She affur'd me, flie was not miftaken in 
that. And indeed the gravelly Coat , which the Bullet hath , 
fbews fufficientiy , whereabout 'twas lodg'd. Inquiring alfo, 
Whether the other Bullet was come from her? She faid no 5 
for ought fhe knew, 'twas (till in her body. And as to her 
ftate fince this evacuation fhe faith, that flie hath had ever 
lince Stone-eollick-pains, but none in fohigh a degree, as be- 
fore. 
ThisJs the plain relation of the matter of Fad. The Maine 
pfe, I would make of the Inftance ( if it be worth mentioning ) 
is to ftrengthen a conje&ure, 1 have had a long time, of fome 
other paffage from the Stomack to the Bladder , befides what 
Anatomifls\iwz hitherto given accounts of. For that this Bul- 
let never came at the Ureters through the Veines, Arteries,Nerves, 
Lymphedu&s ( the onely veffels that can be jcharg'd with it) is, 
I think , beyond difpute. If it (hall be faid, that Nature, when 
put to ihifts, finds out ftrange conveyances to rid the Body of 
what is extraneous and offenfive to it, I readily grant it, becaufe 
many inftances are known, making that good .5 yet I think it 
not fo pertinently urg'd, for as much as fome other Inftances 
feem to fide with it, which cannot be taken off by the fame eva* 
lion- Many do find, that drinking 4 or 5 Glaffes of Rhe- 
*i[k (for inftance,) within lefs than a quarter of an hour they (hall 
have a ftrong lift to make Water, efpecially if the Body hath 
been agitated. Now that it fhould pafs through the Lacteals, 
Veins, Heart, aad Arteries, andbe ftrain'd from the Blood in fo 
fhort a time, is to me fcarce conceivable. 
But furely this iliorter paffage (wherever 'tis ) is as natural as 
that, by which itfhould have gone, had it ftaid longer in the 
Body*
