Wind, as it were, in her Bladder ; which would make 
one believe, that there is an Aperture from the In- 
teftinum Rectum to the Bladder. 
Her Bladder has been fearched, and the Surgeon 
who did it, allures her, he candifcover no Stone ; and 
he is a very ingenious Perfon in his Profehlon. 
She has for thefe Four or Five laid Days complained, 
at times, of afthmatic Fits, which I rauft attribute to 
the Heat of the Weather. 
The Voiding of thefe hairy cruftaceous Subliances 
never occurred to me in my Pra&ice before ; though

Thefe Subftances therefore I beg Leave to fend to 
you, being, 1 reckon, there is fcarce any thing that 
efcapes your Obfervation : But whether they have, or 
have not, I defire your Opinion of them ; and beg 
you will be pleafed to inform me what Courfe you 
judge moll proper 1 fhould take with her.
