I subjoin to the examples of cures, a des- cription of the primitive symptoms of stone, extracted from a work which I am about to publish ;* although these symptoms are gene- rally known to medical men, I publish them nevertheless, because I believe they are presented in a more methodical manner and in a truer light than they have hitherto appeared in, and because now that lithotrity is established, the knowledge of them cannot be too widely spread. In fact, lithotrity, although an excellent means of treating without danger, persons afflicted with stone, has, like other modes of treatment, its difficulties * This work is entitled Principles of Lithotrity, or the Art of Curing the Stone, without Incision its publication is delayed by the difficulty attending the English translation, and the execution of the plates.
