NEW METHOD 9F DESTROY
ING CALCULI.


Tho method proposed by DR.. Ci-
yiale, of destroying Calculi in the
bladder. has been reported to the
Academy of Sciences. by VI. Percy.
The following is the account given OF
/: in the Annaies de Chimie "A
straight silver sound is introduced
through the urethra into the bladder;
If contains second also of silver and
hollow, and terminated by three
spring branches. which lie close to-
rether when confined by the princi-
pal sound, but when pushed forward,
beyond it, separate and form a sort
of cage, into which after a little
while, the stone is made to enter; the
operator then closes the cages of it
nv drawing the interior sound to-
wards himself. The second sound
contains a long steel rod terminated
a. the. extremity between the branch
es of the cage by small circular
saw, a file. or other instrument. &C
cording to circumstances. When the
STONE is we'll fixed, this rod is pushed
against it and by means of a wheel at
its external extremity. and a spring
bow, is made to reyolve i'm the mans
ner Of a drill: Immediately the dull
sound Of the rubbing. or breaking
down of The calculus is heard; and
the operation for the time is general.
" Anishrd by the election of the frag-
ments, greater or smaller, both in

tirely removed; there had been scarce
~ any pain. and the patient always
went on foot to M. CiyiaIe's house.
A man of the name of Quarent, Of
Rheims, was the second patient
treated; the stone was broken with
equal success. and was found to have
4 white kidney bean for its nucleus.
