 hembrane. Five or six linear eschars should be made, 

 tery lightly at the upper portion, more heavily below. 

 • he tumor should then be replaced and the sphincter 

 ijrned at two points on opposite sides with the same

 : child upon the forearm with a leg hanging on 

 her side. Insert the index finger in the child's

 of two pieces of elastic tubing, passed between the 

 thighs and fastened to the stem of the instrument, which 

 projects beyond the vulva ; the ends of the tubing are 

 fastened to a waistband. Witzel's Method of remov- 

 ing an acute pneumothorax resulting from penetrating

 acid at blood-temperature is used for this purpose. Yeo's
