Ivbaut g manthi before fhe was cured, the Pain and Tu- 
mour encreafed to the bigneH^ of a mans two Fifts, fbe en- 
dCvivoured by many flemedies to get eafe, but in vain, till 
the torment and watching had (o wcakned her, that (he 
could not rife out of her Bed nor he down in it. 
In this deplorable condition flie was advifed by a Wo- 
man to take a dofe of Powder'd Jalop, what the quantity 
was I could not learn, but it operated violently, and fud- 
denly drove the pain trom her fide down to the Anus^ where 
it refembled a Tenejmm^ vliu. a conftant and violent inclina- 
tion to ftools without being able to force off any thing, and 
after (lie had been thus crucified four days her Urine alfo 
ftopt, and two days after that the charitable Neighbours, 
who had all along given her their bell: afliOance craved 
mine; 
I perceived by their report ot the matter, that fomething 
obftrufted the pafiage of her Excrements, and foon found it 
fo by a probe j 1 then anointed the paffage with ^opdkmm^ 
and taking hold of the fubftance with a pair of large For- 
ceps., made to extraft Stones from the Bladder after Litho- 
tomy, I drew it lorrh. 
Abundance of Wind and Excrements gufht out, and con- 
tinued to flow till her Guts were emptied of all the matter, 
which had been fo long retained § after which I ordered her 
an Anodine Clyfter, and a compofing draught, and ever 
iioce (being feveral years) flie continueth well. 
The thing extracted w^as round, fomewhat oblong, ha- 
ving on it fome (uch imprelGons, as mens Fingers make on 
Wax or Plaifter, It then weighed lo Drachms, now fcarce 
an Ounce, it was 5 inches in circumference, and altho it felt 
and otherwife appeared a Stone, it fwam on Water, which 
made me fee the infide of it by jetting it in two with a Knife, 
externally it was black, and fmooth as if varnifht, and no 
thicker, which made me before I had confidered the whole, 
think it the expanded skin of the Plumb indurated 5 next to 
this thin blacknefs was a crnft of matter like Brick, the thick- 
nefs
