eight Days together, with very little Signs of Succefs. 
But lome time after, having Occafion to ride fomewhat 
more than ordinary, he found himfelf very fore in his 
StoQiach, and Sick ; which ending in violent Vomiting 
and Straining, brought up the firft Stones he ever per- 
ceived to come from him, which were about Twenty 
in number. 
After this he had frequent returns of the Vomiting
