Cases of the successful practice of vesicae lotura in the cure of diseased bladders / by Jesse Foot, Surgeon. The practice of vesicae lotura is thus far decisive, for cases of diseased bladders, which have hitherto been deemed fatal ones, it is a direct cure. It brings off gravel lodged in the bladder, and promises fairer than any former mode, upon the most obvious grounds, to dissolve the stone within.

At this period of the case, I in- vited Mr. Edward Ford of Golden Square, during the process of injection, to see it. And shortly after, as I missed the Patient for a week, and he being at that time provided with the means of injecting himself, I sent my nephew to enquire after him, when he re- turned for answer, that he was so well, as not to need to come any more.
