 forceps. The removal of the cyst disclosed the sen-

"At points where the cyst walls were continuous 

 with the facial cavity, the bony papillae were care- 

 fully removed, and the entire cavity dressed with 

 carbolized oil and iodoform. 



"Improvement was prompt and rapid, healthy 

 granulations appearing over the entire extent of the 

 cavity. In about a week the walls of the cavity 

 receded promptly, relieving the dyspnoea and decreas- 

 ing the outward bulging, and on the twelfth day 

 after admission she was discharged apparently on the 

 safe road to recovery. Six weeks later the owner 

 reported her as practically well."
