    t i*3 and a large stone was extracted from him/'* * De Haen, vol. ii. p. 70—71. 13 Julii hujus an- ni ad me venit vir 34 annorum, qui per 28 annorum spatium verus lithiaseos martyr, cum ardore nunquam « non minxit rubram arenam, calculos autem nullos. Evacuavit subinde olim, et nunc saepius ab octo retro annis copiosissimam albam glutinosam materiem, quae (l pauculo tempore sibi relicta friabiles format albidosque lapillos. Et haec quidem in quiete. At si corpus in «' itinere above modo movet, urinam fuscam, ac stran- ** guriosam deponere solet. Lapillos hos, quorum copiam *« habeo, diceret quis cretae albae majora esse minoraque «* frusta, ad figuram demum vasis in quo urina servatur formata. Incredibile quantum miserrimus ille intra men- *' sis spatium uva ursi mutetur, idque jam ab ejusdem initio. <e Calculosus puer Hagse Batavorum utebatur famoso Anglorum remedio Joannas Stepfens dicto.—Videbamus hunc puerum magno cum parentum gaudio, cum urina quotidie emingere fragmenta alba, lapidea vel calcarea; ejus quidem formae ut apparerent excorticantis se calculi ramenta esse. Quamvis autem longo tempore ejus modi materiem copiose redderet, calculi tamen symptomata ideo non mitigabantur, neque imminutus deprehendebatur cal- cuius. Ita quidem ut tandem post collectam magnam ra- mentis hisce repletam pyxidem, puer sectione liberari a ** magno calculo debuerit.
