    should be ignorant of what was going forward. Every patient in the same favourable condition as Sir and under the same circumstances, will suffer as little; for the most part, they walk to my house to undergo the operation, and return home in the same manner. Mr. Wattie, my first patient, 64 years of age, came two or three times from Chelsea to Parliament-street, where he was operated on, and walked back again directly after the operation. Mr. Brodie was present at the operations per- formed on Sir ***, and my pupil, Mr. Biggs. Mr. Castle, Surgeon to the County of Clare Infirmary, 62 years of age, after having suffered several years, consulted Mr. Crampton; this gen- tleman discovered a stone with the sound, and advised Mr. Castle to come to London and con- fide himself to my care. He immediately left Dublin for London, where he arrived in June, and took apartments near me, in Chapel-place, No. 16. I sounded the patient, and discovered a stone, which was oval, not easily moveable, and com- posed of uric acid; it persisted in remaining under the neck of the bladder, where a proper examination could not be made without difficulty. The urine was catarrhous, and its expulsion was attended with considerable pain.
