 be cut away, but a fimple opening only muft 

 be made on the upper part of the apophyfis in 

 order to wait the exfoliation of the carious 

 bone. If it happens that, contrary to nature, 

 this bone is edged by a thin cartilage, the faid 

 part or quarter muft no more be taken off than 

 in the cafe above, for the corroded part will 

 feparate by being treated in the above manner, 

 and will come out at the opening made above.
