I then alledged two Inftances of Faflr, to prove not 
only the Reafonablenefs, but the real Succefsof thisPra- 
£lifej and I have been fincc ftill more confirmed in that 
Opinion by feveral other fuccesful Operations I have feen 
of the like kind : but more particularly, by one lately 
performed in this Town on a Girl, between Eleven and 
Twelve Years Old, one Sarah Jones^ that for Six Years 
paft, has been feverely afflifted with all the painful and 
lanufual Symptoms of the Stone, but on the i6th of 
Oiloler^ was happily relieved, by only dilating gently^ 
the Neck of the Bladder, and then extrading a Stone 
of a very confiderable bulk, without making any Inci- 
fion at all. 
The whole Operation was performed in Six or Seven 
MinuteSj and was the more remarkable on the Account 
of the extraordinary large Size of the Stone, whofe 
Shape and . Bignefs is exafily reprefentcd in the annext 
Figure, F/^. Tah. Ftg, i. I did omit taking the Weight 
of it, nor was it truly any great negled, fincel think it 
no very material Circumdance for our Information in 
in fuch Cafes, to know exadly what a Stone Weighs 
for the greater or left Gravity of thefe Bodies, depend 
not on their outward Dimenfions, fo much as on their 
internal Parts accidentally cohering more or left com- 
paftly together, as they are formed in the Bladder, and 
as if no importance in the Operation of extracting them : 
the Difficulty or Eafinefs of which, as well as the Danger 
and Succefs, more immediately depend, on the Magni- 
tude and Shape of the Stone, rather thap on its Gravi- 
ty fo that if we have a right Idea of thofe, 'tis altoge- 
ther fufficient to our Purpofe. 
By the Size of this we have here figured, it appears 
to have been fo big, that it may feem almoft incredible 
a Solid of that Bulk, (hould be forced through the V' 
mhra of fo fmall and fo Young a Child, withont any 
manner
