That Day at Noon I gave the Patient a very light 
Soup. 
Saturday the x8th, I cut him by the high Appa- 
ratus at 8 in the Morning. The Surgeon who was 
gone to fetch the Inftruments, brought Mr. Grajfe* 
a Surgeon from Rublin, with him, who was come 
to Roiien , on the Part of Meflieurs Morand and Ver - 
dier , to fee my Way of Cutting ; and 1 had io or 
1 2 young Surgeons with me who were come from 
Roiien . 
The Patient was placed upon one of thofe little 
Beds which the Turners make for the Country Peo- 
ple; the two Extremities of the Bed were rais'd, 
cfpecially that which was to fupport the Thighs, and 
the Middle was hollow ; the Whole covered with 
Alaizes*. 
The Patient's Head was towards the Light j his 
Hands and Feet were tied acrofs the Bed, in the Places 
where they came to lie, when the Patient was laid on 
his Back ; his Legs were ftretch'd and open s his Arms 
brought down below his Hips; in a Word, he was in 
a very convenient Pofture. I was on the right Side of 
the Patient. 
In this Manner I thrufted an Algalie (or hollow 
Catheter ) into the Bladder, introducing it on. the 
Side, as I had done the Day before. I injected a 
Syringe-full of lukewarm Water into the Bladder $ 
which occafion'd a Protuberance not immediately 
above the Rubis , but three or four Fingers Breadth 
higher ; 
* Thefe are Cloths folded feveral times, and laid under the Pa- 
tients, to keep them cleanly.
