PHILADELPHIA. NOV.
A Correspondent has sent us the following Paragraph.
I had the curiosity last week, to be present at Dr. Bond's cutting for the stone, and was agreeably disappointed; for, instead of seeing an operation, said to be perplexed with difficulty and uncertainty, and attended with violence and cruelty, it was performed with such ease, regularity and success it scarcely gave a shock to the most sympathizing bystander, the whole being completed, and a stone of two inches length, and one in diameter, extracted in less than two minutes, to the inexpressible relief of an amiable youth, whose prospect in life was horrid, having suffered the most excruciating torture, from his birth to this lucky moment. - If surgery is productive of such blessed effects, may we not, with Cicero, justly rank it amongst the first of the arts, and esteem it worthy of the highest culture and encouragement.
