to be overcome. I therefore ordered an Afllftant to 
pufh through the Jinus the Stone towards the Belly ; 
and I, on my Side, having difeover’d the End of the 
Stone under the Pubis, put in the Fore-finger of 
my right Hand, and prefs’d as hard as poffible the 
Stone with it towards the Spoon, which, at the fame 
time, I ftrongly pull’d with my left Hand. Thefe 
three Forces being united, made the Stone at laft 
give Way, and brought it forth to the Joy of the 
Spe&ators, as well as the Patient. The upper Side 
of the Stone, that is to fay, that which anfwer’d to 
the Pubis, was pretty even, and feem’d to give a Paf- 
fage to the Urine; the nether or hindmoft Side, 
which lay towards the Proftates and the Entrance of 
the Bladder, kept the Shape of thefe Parts; its Sub- 
ftance was crumbling, of a reddifh Colour, and like 
the Membrane of the Bladder, having a fungous Poile 
on it (fee the Figures, Tab. I. of this Tranfa&ion)., 
with which it feem’d to have been incorporated, and 
of which a fort of Covering yet remain’d upon its Sur- 
face ; this Covering being taken off, and the Stone a 
little dried, this whole appear’d to be pierced with Po- 
roftties, which feem’d to have been the Receptacles 
of the forefaid Poile. There was no Mark on this 
Side of any Urine having.paffed. 
A Pledget charged with Digeftives, a Rag dipp’d 
in an Embrocation, and an emollient Cataplafm, were 
laid upon the Wound; the Patient was laid upon 
the Belly, his Brcaft being fupported by one Bolfter, 
and his Head by another.
