Gohfill (whofe cafe you were pleafed to print in the 
Tranfaft: for June 1699. Number 253.) came lately to 
me, and told me the Stones grew very troublefome to 
him ^ that he had ot late vomited up two of them, which 
he Chewed me, and I caufed rhem to be weighed. One 
weighed and the other ^i- He complains, tbac 
his Strength is of late much impaired ^ that he voids 
great quantities of Blood by Stool, which keeps him ve-- 
ry weak. His Stomach is much decay'd, and will retain 
but few things. His hands are palfyed ^ always ex- 
crtine cold, and his Fingers concrafted 5 he is not able 
to open them without help, or keep them fo, unlefs by 
Force. His Legs are very likely in a fmall time to be as 
to him as his Hands, for, he fays, they begin to 
fail him, and in the fame manner 5 grow cold, and have 
little fenfation in them. But the moft remarkable of all 
his complaints, was, a. new Progrefb the Stones had ei- 
ther found or raade.Formerly at night inbed,they us'd to 
get up Cas he exprefs*d it) to his Heart, and upon turn- 
ing to his Knees, or ftanding upright on his Feet, they 
would drop one by one fo diftinCtly, that they might 
be counted, and in this ftate they always arofe ftraight 
up on the right fide of his Breaft ^ but now they rife 
t)bhquely, and get under his right Arm, inclining to? 
wards the Scapula, and when they are in this place, by 
giving him a Blow with the Fift on his. right Shoulder, 
they will all fall down in a Lump together, and may 
very plainly be heard to clafh on the other Stones, which 
lye as they did formerly juft above the Oj' P//^/V. Af- 
ter he had told me this Story, I made the experiment 
before Dr Fowh and Dr Davies^ and the matter of faft 
proved true as he related it. 
The poor Fellow concluded, that bethought he could 
not live long, and defired, When he dyed, that I would 
take care his body might be opened. I heartily wifh
