substantiate these claims, and from the reports which a few other operators have made of their results it seems possible for others to accomplish as much.In estimating the value, however, of any method of treatment, especially one which is recommended for so large a proportion of what may be called minor gynecological affections, two or three considerations must be borne in mind.In the first place, it must be easy of application and demand no more than the ordinary skill of the average physician. In North Face Clearance the second Oakley Sunglasses place, it must be as regards expenditure of time and expense on the part of the patient and in permanency of results a marked advance over other methods. And third, it must be free from all objectionable features.A somewhat careful study of what has been written on the subject forces us to the belief that the method of pelvic massage under discussion North Face Coat does not fulfil any of these prerequisites.As regards the first, it is conceded even by its warmest advocates that it is wellnigh impossible to so describe the technique in print that a physician can appropriate and make use of it. Personal instruction and long practice seem to be a necessity, and even then so much delicacy of touch and manipulative skill are required that few could become proficient. These facts alone would prevent its widespread application.As regards the second point, the length of time required, and the permanency of results, two very important factors in comparing it with other methods, we are forced to the conclusion that even Ralph Lauren Outlet in these respects its claims The North Face Outlet for recognition cannot be substantiated. We think other forma of treatment would accomplish equally good results in a shorter time. Dr. Matilda Wallin, who for three years was Brandt's pupil and assistant, in a late communication on this subject before the Philadelphia County Medical Society, describes the method in considerable detail, and refers to a oust' of complete prolapsus uteri, which she saw treated. The patient came to Brandt the 29th of June; on the 9th of September she was well. Who will doubt that with appropriate operative treatment the patient would have got well sooner? Much more would this be true of the Oakley Canada numerous minor ailments.The third point mentioned raises a question which must, it seems to North Face Outlet Store us, suggest itself when this method of treatment is advocated, namely, the effect of this more or less prolonged manipulation of the vagina upon nervous and excitable women. In our opinion it cannot fail to be prejudicial, and in so far nullify any good effect that the massage would otherwise have.The objections, therefore, which we would feel North Face Outlet are valid against the widespread adoption of this method of treatment, are that it is complicated, slower in its action, and not surer in its results than other methods, and has possible objectionable features.At the same time, we confess that in a modified form and as an adjunct to other modes of treatment, massage is valuable in pelvic disease. It is not the principle, but the elaborate system which seeks too wide a field and attempts too much that we object to. Any method which claims as much as this does must lie within the possibilities of at least all specialists. As it is, its practice will certainly be confined to the favored few who can eujoy special training, and who will make a subspecialty of it.TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA BY FREQUENT SMALL DOSES OF BINIODIDE OF MERCURY.PIEDALLU1 claims extraordinary success in treating diphtheria by small doses of biniodide of mercury. He has employed this remedy since early in 1891 in very many cases, to the exclusion of the usual The North Face Outlet Store local treatment, and without a single death. His
