y. A Letter to the Pnllijher from Mr Buffierc, 
F. R. 5. Concerning a triple Bladder ^^z* 
According to my promife , I fend you the de- 
fcription and figure of the triple Bladder which 
you faw lately, at a meeting of the Royal Society ^ it 
is fo extraordinary a cafe, that I do not queftion but it 
will be very acceptable to you. There is indeed fome 
account of a double Bladder found in the body of 
fome men 5 as for inftance, that which was found in 
the body of the famous and learned Cafauhon 5 but there 
is none of three Urinary Bladders in the body of a man. 
I do not fay however that the fame cafe might not 
have been in fome others, but there is no mention 
made as yet in any Author that I know 5 the opening 
of dead bodies is too much neglefted ^ and I do not 
queftion^but if Ph^fician more careful to 
fearch, or caufe to be fearched in the bodies of them 
that dye of extraordinary diftempers , they would 
find fometimes , that which they attribute to the 
alteration of the blood or humour, dependeth-meerly 
on an extraordinary conformation of parts. This tri- 
ple Bladder found in the body of the WiQMx Booth will 
be a proof thereof ^ but before I give the defcripci- 
on of it, I think it neceflary to give you an account of 
the Symptoms vyhich that Gentleman did undergo by 
the conformation of his Bladder, and of the caufe of 
his death. 
In his beQ health, he could not make his water in a 
full and continual ftream , the Urin^ running out but 
by little and little, and with great efforts of infpiration, 
chiefly when there was but littje quantity of it in the 
Bladder
