Shrinkage of the cyst setting in rapidly, and continuing steadily, shows that the operation has been successful. If the injection fails altogether, or causes partial obliteration of the sac, it should be repeated at intervals of a week or ten days. The great objection to the use of this method is the impossibility of telling what variety of spina bifida...
Page 284 - So saying, her rash hand in evil hour Forth reaching to the Fruit, she pluck'd, she eat: Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her seat Sighing through all her Works gave signs of woe, That all was lost.
Page 439 - This osteoplastic process may not affect the bone uniformly, as, while it is occuring at one part, disintegration may be advancing in another. Thus, while the mastoid is eburnated and very dense, the teg-men tympani may be affected by molecular disintegration. "When a fresh pathogenic process is set up in the middle ear of such a case, it is all the more apt to find its way inwards, owing to the resistance met with externally in the dense walls by which it is surrounded. The relative frequency with...
