IN the year 1690. having the Curiofity to vifit the 
Mineral Wells, called Moffet Wells , in the County 
of Annandde in Scotland ^ I had there an occafion of 
DifTeding a Lady who had been drinking of the Wa- 
ters, by advice of her Phyficians, for a Diftemper in 
her Stomach, viz, a continual Vomiting, as alfb for 
the Dolor Nefhriticus ; How long flie had been trou- 
bled with thefe Diflempers, or what time fee continued 
to drink of the Waters I had no account ; only this I 
know, flie dyed in a fit of Vomiting, the reafon 
whereof feems to be plain and obvious for upon diiC 
feding the Stomach, 1 found a Stone of the bignefs and 
form as in fig, r. the corner a.yj^s almoft fixed in the 
Pylorus f fo that the paflage from the Stomach to the in- 
teftines was near quite fliut up. The fubftance of this 
1 Stone is a little Spongy, weighing about eight Drams 
and an half On Dinedion of the left Kidney, I found 
alft a Stone of the fame Subftance and form, as repre- 
jfented in /g. z, weighing about five Drams, and in the

IReins and Vefuula fellu^ is a thing very ordinary and 
commons but that Stones fliould be bred in the Sto-
