THE INFLUENCE ON THE NOSE OF WIDENING THE PALATAL ARCH.

The relation between nasal obstruction and malformation of the jaws and teeth has long been considered by both the dental and medical profession. Only recently has the proper attention been given to the removal of nasal and postnasal obstruction before correcting deformities of the jaws and teeth. To-day there is much written on this subject, and general practitioners of medicine are referring their little patients to specialists practicing rhinology and orthodontia. The patients are sent first to the rhinologist and then to the dentist. This I believe to be the proper procedure if there is an obstructive lesion in the nose, or the nasopharynx. There is, however, a very common class of cases in which there is an intimate relation between the nose and the palatal arch, the proper treatment for which is not always given due consideration. I refer to those cases in which there is constriction of the

URETHROTOMY BY THE COMBINED USE OF AN ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR SOUND USED AS GUIDESTHE LATTER BY MEANS OF PREVESICAL PUNCTURE WITH A CURVED TROCAR CANNULA DESIGNED FOR THE PURPOSE.

The genito-urinary surgeon or the general practitioner of medicine is confronted no graver condition in the routine of practice than the fortunately rare impervious urethral stricture, as, the patient anesthetized and the structures covering the urethral site divided, or without a Wheelhouse staff or other down to the stricture, he finds it simply impossible to locate the proximal lumen, or anything resembling the mucous membrane of the urethra. It is a well-known fact that the best genito-urinary surgeons are frequently baffled by this condition, and utterly fail to enter the bladder by the ordinary methods of urethrotomy, or without a guide. The statement, with a guide, refers to a catheter or staff introduced via the meatus and extending only down to the stricture, the usual meaning, with a guide, obviously not being intended, since, of course, no difficulty could ensue if even the smallest filiform

The Neurological Practice of Medicine. A Cursory Course of Selected Lectures in Neurology, Neuriatry, Psychology and Psychiatry. Applicable to General and Special Practice. With 177 Illustrations. After the Author's Class-Room Methods as a Teacher of Students. Designed for Students and General Practitioners of Medicine and Surgery.

Dr. Hughes has published in this volume the first series of his lectures on neurology given in the Barnes Medical College. The book contains a useful demonstration of the neuron theory, the methods of examination in nervous diseases and the general anatomy of the nervous centers, touching also on some pathologic points. The lecture style is clear and the subject-matter is given in an interesting as well as an instructive manner. The work is amply illustrated, not overloaded with technical matter and for that reason is so much better for the student, while at the same time it successfully conveys the instruction that it is intended to give.

TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY CASES OF HEMORRHOIDS, OPERATED ON SUCCESSFULLY BY THE LIGATURE METHOD.

This list was compiled from consecutive cases and there was no death and only one complication occurred in the entire series. While this is very gratifying, it does not necessarily prove anything unusual in this age of antiseptic surgery, since Mr. Allingham, of London, has reported four thousand consecutive operations for hemorrhoids by the ligature method without a death. But it is especially important that these successful cases should be published because of the prejudice of the laity against any surgical procedure for the relief of piles; a prejudice which unfortunately too often is shared by the general practitioner of medicine. In the one case mentioned above, during the second week of convalescence, I noticed one ligature remaining. It seemed to be loose and I removed it by very gently dragging upon it. There was no hemorrhage at the time, but during the day, when the patient assumed the upright

Lunacy in Private Practice

I desire to-day to show, to some extent, the difficulties the general practitioner of medicine has to contend with in the treatment of lunacy; difficulties certainly unknown in public asylums, and only partially appreciated in private institutions.

THE USE OF ELECTRICITY BY THE GENERAL PRACTITIONER.

In the successful prosecution of any line of work it is necessary to have good tools to work with, and in no calling is this more important than in the treatment of disease, the relief of suffering and the prolongation of life, which are, or should be, the aim of every physician. Were we to examine the armamentaria of the general practitioners of medicine, we would find that where they had electrical apparatus it would, as a rule, be the farthest from up-to-date of any appliances they might have. The reasons for this are twofold: first, the market is flooded with, so far as treatment of disease is concerned, worthless but not always cheap electrical appliances, the fancied merits of these machines being constantly paraded before the medical profession by manufacturers and selling agents; second, physicians are not sufficiently well informed as to what they should or should not buy.

PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING THE SERUM DIAGNOSIS OF TYPHOID FEVER AND THE METHODS OF ITS APPLICATION.

I comply the more readily with the suggestion of the Chairman of this Section that my remarks in opening this discussion on the Serum Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever, shall relate to the general principles of the method, inasmuch as the results obtained by this method at the Johns Hopkins Hospital will be presented in the course of this discussion by Dr. Block, and others will relate the results of their personal experience. Before the introduction of the Widal method of diagnosis the discovery and subsequent studies of the typhoid bacillus had been comparatively barren of results available to the general practitioner of medicine. In this respect the typhoid bacillus afforded a marked contrast to many other pathogenic microorganisms, notably the tubercle bacillus, the diphtheria bacillus and the malarial parasite. For various reasons improved methods of diagnosis of typhoid fever are most welcome to the practitioner. Inasmuch as the prevalence of

FUNCTIONAL NERVOUS DISEASES OF REFLEX ORIGIN.Read in the Section of Ophthalmology at the Forty-first Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association, held in Nashville, Tenn., May 21, 1890.

If one-half that is claimed by Dr. George T. Stevens be true,—viz.: That nearly all headaches, neuralgias, almost all cases of chorea, and 50 per cent. of all cases of epilepsy are due to incoordination of muscles of the eyeball, the subject is one of momentous importance to every general practitioner of medicine, as well as to the surgeon and specialist. That there is a grain of truth in his observations, I have no doubt, but it cannot be separated from the chaff by positive declarations pro and con, without first being investigated by impartial, unprejudiced careful scientific observers. The position Dr. Stevens occupies in New York is an anomalous one; if I am correctly informed he went there a comparative stranger, a few years since, from Albany where he enjoyed a fair, local special practice. Although he had been a regular contributor to the medical

The Necessity of a More Careful Study of the Pulse.

Dear Sir: —There are many reasons why a careful study of the pulse demands the attention of the general practitioner of medicine at this time. Among these permit the writer to name the following: 1. The pulse is disturbed by almost every departure from a normal state of health. 2. The pulse is recognized as a symptom in every abnormal manifestation. 3. To examine the pulse and determine its value as a symptom is one of the first duties of the physician at the bedside of the sick. 4. The large number of deaths from heart disease have alarmed the public, and magnified the importance of every means for diagnosticating diseases of this organ, and intensified the necessity for every man who practices medicine to understand the different modes of examining the pulse, and how to apply the information derived therefrom in determining the condition of the great central organ
