    ■*? XXVII. Joseph Kettle, Efq; at Cambridge. HA D the ufual Symptoms of a Stone in the Bladder. Was examined by Mr. Chefelden, and a Stone found. Took the Medicines for about a Year, but not confiantly, nor always in full Quan¬ tity. His Account of himfelf dated Nov. 29, 1738, is as follows : cc Mrs. Stephens's Medicines have done me no harm, only occafioned a fwelling in my Body and Legs, and fince I left off taking her 4 6 Medicines the fwellyig is gone off, and I am in the fame State I was in before.” Perhaps it would have been better here to have given the Medicines with lefs Liquid, and if by this Means Mr. Kettle had been enabled to have taken them regularly, he might perhaps have found the fame Effects as moft others do. However, it is not certain that the Stone in his Bladder is of the fame Size as when he began *, for a Stone may re¬ ceive a confiderable Increafe or Decreafe, and yet continue to.give the fame Complaints. 7?'™-' ,11, 1 I — ,T,1„ ■ IP .1 r .1 —I. —— III,,.. — . ■■ ' XXVIII.
