That a committee of nine be appointed to carry these resolu¬ 
tions into effect. 
The committee was so appointed; Professor Coleman pledged 
himself to present these memorials to the governors and the pre¬ 
sent examiners, and to use his utmost influence to procure the de- 
siied object; and it being past twelve o’clock, other business was 
postponed, and the meeting adjourned. 
EXCISION OF THE WOUNDED PART IN TETANUS. 
BARON Larrey confidently advises the removal of the injured 
part for the cure of Tetanus. Mr. Brodie, in his lectures at the 
College of Surgeons in the spring of 1822, confirms this to a con¬ 
siderable extent. He says that painful and spasmodic affections, 
produced by lesion of some nervous fibrils, are not relieved by a 
division of the nerve between the seat of injury and the brain; 
and that, in a few instances an aggravation of the symptoms 
seems to be occasioned by the operation of neurotomy*. This led 
him to the removal of the injured portion of the nerve, and which 
was attended with success.
