all so plain and palpable. At this question, Mr. Lambert seemed rather inclined to fight shy, but after a little coaxing on the part of Mr. North, replied that he was not inclined to place so much reliance on the local symptoms as the constitutional. These were obstinate constipation-vomitting-small hard pulse-tenderness of the abdomen. It was observed, however, that these symptoms might one and all exist, totally independent of any herniary tumour, and depend solely upon intestinal inflammation. In opposition to Mr. L.'s comparative neglect of the local symptoms, it was urged by Mr. North, with great justice, that surgeons in general, are disposed to place very considerable reliance upon them, and Mr. Lawrence, himself, attaches a good deal of importance to the condition of the tumour.

12. ICE TO ANEURISMS.

Baron Larrey has lately presented a memoir to the Royal Institute, on the

treatment of aortic aneurisms, which consists in the adoption of Valsalva's method -starvation-and the application of ice to the region of the aneurism. Among many instances of success attending this treatment, we may cite the following. A soldier, after a wound, became affected with varicose aneurism of the crural ar tery. The volume of the tumour exceeded that of a man's fist, and "all operation was impracticable"-for what reason we are not told. The patient, however, was doomed to death, when the method of Valsalva (starvation, absolute repose, repeated bleedings) and the constant application were tried. Afterwards moxas were applied to the tumour. In the course of a few months, the aneurism was considerably, though very progressively, reduced. It was evident that the parietes of the tumour became gradually thickened. Finally, the canal of the crural artery was completely obliterated, and a cure was effected in the course of a year.
