f the _tinctura thebaica_, and Syrup three Times
a-Day; but on the 22d she complained, that since she left off
the oily Medicines, her Pain and Difficulty in making Water
had grown worse; she was therefore ordered the saline and
oily Draughts alternately, and to take the Rhubarb oily
Draught occasionally when costive, which removed these
Complaints; and they did not return while she remained in the
House; but on the 4th of _July_, the Day before she was to
have been discharged as cured, she was attacked with a sharp
Pain in her Hip and Loins, and about the _os coccygis_; which
increased till the 9th, and extended itself all along the
Outside of the right Thigh; it was most acute about the _os
coccygis_; but on examining, nothing was to be observed
externally: This Pain continued more or less all that Month,
and till the End of the next, and so obstinate as not to be
altered by bleeding, and the Use of Liniments, Blisters,
cooling Medicines, Opiates, warm Baths, and other Remedies.
On the 20th of _August_, a strengthening Plaister was applied
to her Back, which gave immediate Relief, and she was
discharged cured the 29th. She continued well till _October_,
when she was attacked with a violent Fever at _Hounslow_, and
was brought to the Hospital on the 24th of that Month, and
the tenth Day of the Fever. She died the 3d of _November_.
During the Course of the Fever, she only complained once of a
Difficulty of making Water.--After Death I had her Body
opened, when the only Thing particular which we could
observe, was the urinary Bladder about four times the natural
Size; it seemed to be flaccid, and in a State of Relaxation;
the Kidneys were sound, and no Signs of any Distemper could
be observed about the Uterus or Rectum, or near the _os
coccygis_.--When she was first in the Hospital, I desired her
always to examine her Urine; but she never observed that she
passed any Sand, Gravel, or any thing of that kind.

_Thomas Jacey_, an elderly Man, was admitted into _St.
George_'s Hospital the 14th of _March_ 1759, for a Pain in
his Back, and a Difficulty and Pain in making Water, which
was often mixed with grumous Blood; but he had never observed
any Sand or Gravel in it. His Pulse was quick and full,
attended with Heat and Thirst; and he was inclined to be
costive; he was
