But before I proceed to give the Relation of that, or* 
der feems to require, that you Ihould have an Account 
of the Difeafe, and the Symptomes antecedent as well 
as Icoutd my felf Le inftruded, he had not long Reco- 
vered from under Mr. HoUters Care, before be began 
to complain of Pain, which refembled his old Pain 
of the Stone; and this continued upon him for 4 or 5- 
Years, before he was fenfible of any Fullnefs or Swelling 
in Perinao, which you are to fuppofe at firft but fmall. 
I am inclined to believe, that Mr. Hollier left either a

as the Separation could be made of the Urine into the 
Bladder ; and While that continued full, he was fenfible 
of fonieeafe. He has been likewife exceeding liable to 
Vomiting of late, and- generally molefted with a Dlar* 
rhiea for fome Years pafl ; both which had lately fo en- 
creafed upon him, as very much to have impaired his 
Health, and weakned his Conftitution. 
I am now only to tell you, that having prepared him 
with fuch Evacuations, as are proper to precede fuch an 
Operation, on Monday the x8th of Septemher lafl; I 
performed it, by cutting upon the mofl protuberant part 
ef the Stone, (which l then fiippofed to be but one)
