A TRIUMPH IN SURGERY.

&C i'd entremos MorboS, ertrema remedia."
The writer of this paragraph witnessed on Sa-
turday morning one of the most appalling and
painful operations ever performed upon any llv-
ing human being, and while it reflects credit up
on the surgeon, and does honor to the country,
it serves as a convincing proof to suffering hui
mainly, that while there is life, there is hope,
and that none need despair even in the most ag-
gravated forms of disease. The operation above
referred to- was performed by DR.. Mott with his
usual skill and intrepidity. The subject OF it
was young man about 26 years OF age, who
had been for long time afflicted with stone, and
which had increased with unprecedented rapi-
dity, until it attained size great as to occu-
py the whole of the bladder in its dstended state
vet. wonderful to relate, this huge mass was en-
tirey and successfully removed. Several at
tempts were made by the surgeon, both to crush
it and drill it into pieces, in order that it might
be taken away with greater facility, as well as
with more safety to the individual; but these eff
forts were all Notwithstanding no alternative
but that Of charging the wound, and removing
it entire.
Since the operation, the patient has been do
ing well, and bids fair to recover. The stone
was ascertained, Immediately after, to weigh
l7oz 3dwts. avordupois, which is nearly double
that of any other ever taken from the human
subject, while living. Sir Ashley Cooper has re-
marked in his lectures, thateight or nine ounces
is the largest size that can pass the bony stric~
ture in the grippe of the forceps, which is men
toned for the purpose of conveying, it possible,
to the mind of the reader, an idea of the great
difficulty and danger necessarily attending so
important an operation.-M Y Star.
