contained
a good deal of Matter; the lower Part of the left Kidney was
mortified, and contained two or three Ounces of a black foetid
Liquor. The Bladder of Urine was contracted, and its Coats
greatly thickened, and the internal Coat much inflamed; and
there was a Cyst full of Matter, about Half the Size of a
Walnut, between the muscular and villous Coats, towards the
lower Part of the right Side of the Bladder; and there were
two large Cysts, containing a small Quantity of Matter,
though capable of containing near two Ounces each; one
situated between the _vesiculae seminales_ and Rectum, the
other between the _vesiculae_ and Bladder, which opened into
the Urethra by one common Orifice, capable of admitting a
large Quill, at the Side of the _caput galinaginis_. The rest
of the Viscera were in a sound State.

_Mary Hibbard_, a Woman twenty-four Years of Age, was
admitted into _St. George_'s Hospital, the 6th _June_ 1759,
for a Complaint of her Bladder. The Account she gave of

lenitive Electuary as procured her a Stool next Day. As there
was a strong Suspicion of her having a Stone, she was
sounded; but nothing at all was to be felt in the Bladder.
Her Medicines eased her Pain in making Water, but not the
Pain in her Back. On the 16th her Water was thick and turbid,
and deposited a brown Sediment; and the Difficulty in making
Water still remained; instead of the lenitive Electuary she
was ordered the Rhubarb oily Draught to be taken every Night.
On the 18th, there being no Change in her Disorder, she had
Draughts made of an Ounce and a Half of simple Mint Water,
Half a Drachm of the dulcified Spirit of Nitre, and five
Drops o
