I know a Gentleman that now keeps a Fidula in Pe- 
rinceo open for the very fame reafons. 
Since then it is evident that Fidulds in all parts of 
the Body are dilatable to a great width, fince Nature 
is often able of her felf to dilate the very parts in dif- 
pute, to a very extraordinary Degree; and fince 
this very Operation I here propcfe has been fuc- 
cefsfully performed three times on the fame Perfon, 
Therefore Artificial Fiflulds in Males and the Ure^ 
thra of Females may be dilated fo as to extract: any 
Stone without cutting the Body of the Bladder, or 
lacerating any of the Parts, 
N. B. This Operation will appear much lefs furpri- 
zing, if we confider, that it is only dilating the Sphin- 
d:er of the Bladder, (Ac. in a different manner from 
that daily done in Operation, /. e- By 'this 
Method the Parts are dilated gently and gradually, af' 
ter being well bath’d and anointed, the better to relax 
them. Whereas in Marianus\ Operation they are di‘ 
lated quickly and violently, and then the Stone, be it 
of what Largenefs or Figure foever, is forcibly drawn 
out immediately; whence. Contufions, Lacerations,
