iMised on a more thorough scientific fonncUtion.
Schwartz of Halle is the most prominent pioneer.
Then the so called radical operation was added to
the Mastoid operation. Difference of the two
methods. When is a Mastoid operation indicated?
When is a radical operation indicated? Why is it not
only more safe but frequently absolutely necessary to
open the Mastoid early? The operation is more
simple, the dangers are less great, recovery quicker.
What can the general practitioner do from the stand-
point of prophylaxis and from the standpoint of
treatment? Anatomical specimens illustrating the
remarks.

Lorenz Method

period of reduction. Bloodless method of treatment.
Skiagraphs showing position of head of Femur
before and after treatment.
3. The Closure of Wounds
H. W. Yates. Detroit.
The skin can not be made aseptic and therefore
needles carried through it distribute bacteria in their
path. All wounds should be closed with as little
injury to them as possible; the edges should be
coapted but not drawn taut. In a majority of the
ordinary accidental wounds and a fairly representa-
tive number of operation wounds, suitable closure
can be made by the use of adhesive plaster strips.
The fewer stitches through the skin the less infection
do we have.
4. Interpretation of Radiographs
Preston M. Hickey, Detroit.
Subject to be considered from two standpoints.
I. The excellence of the radiograph.

radiograph. Methods of examination of negatives.

radiographs. Importance of understanding radio-
graphic anatomy. Errors may also arise from pre-
conceived ideas. Ulility of stereoscopic images.

5. A Plea for Early Trachelorrhaphy
T. S. Sands, Battle Creek.
When we realize that the great majority of chronic
ailments of women are the result of neglected
lacerations of the cervix and 75 percent, of malignant
growths of uterus are the result of same cause. I feel
justified In calling your attention to this common,
yet all important condition. By the term early
trachelorrhaphy I do not mean immolate repair of
cervix, which I think is unwise and dangerous unless
demanded to prevent serious hemorrhage^

Frank H. Weaver, Charlotte.
2. Injuries of the Parturient Canal Due to Child-
birth, their Causation, Diagnosis and Treat-
ment
James E. Davis, Detroit.
fniroductioH— The facts relative to the pathological
findings suggest unmistakably a preventive
etiology.
Argnment—UnumcT^tlon of avoidable and unavold
able lesions, the prevention of the former and the
care of the latter. The obstetrician should be pre-
pared to make necessary repairs during the early
puerpcrium. The preparation for such repair work
outlined. Objections considered.
Copic/usions — The obstetrician has limited his
science and art The reputation of the obstetrician
and the rights of the patient demand the recognition
and complete immediate repair of lesions resulting
to the parturient canal at the early part of the
pnerpcrium.
3. The Use of Rubber Gloves as a Prophylaxis in
Obstetrics.
F. J. W. Maouire, Detroit.
The paper will contain bacterialogical research
work made from cultures taken from writer's hands,
also the reports of over one hundred cases of instru-
mental delivery in wlfich the patients were protected
by the use of rubber gloves.
4. Ectopic Pregnancy
Mortimer Wii^lson, Port Huron.
By ectopic pregnancy we understand pregnancy in
which the ovum is anchored and develops to a
greater or less degree at some place outside of the
uterine cavity. This place may be in the tube within
the uterine wall, the tube proper, the ovary, or the
peritoneal cavity.
Etiology -Stenons of tube sacculation or rugosity
of its lining, adhesions causing rending of the tube
with stenosis, adhesions of the fimbriae preventing
normal action.
Course of development of foetus. Varying accord-
ing to nutriment and environment
5rM//aiiU— Variation in menses, breasts, shedding
uterine oasts.
Diagnosis— To be made from symptoms and phys
ical examination.
Treatment— The ideal way is to operate before
rupture occurs. When rupture has occurred operate
as soon as you can get some reaction from the shock
and loss of blood.
Brief narration of six cases.

A. N. Coi^WNS, Detroit.
Importance of subject.— I«ack of appreciation of
gravity of the condition. Causes unproven.' Specula-
tion upon causes. Danger signals. Prompt inter-
ference demanded if condition not permanently im-
proved by treatment. Necessity of terminating preg-
nancy. Methods of treatment mechanical and
medicinal. Great value of veratram viridi. Con-
clusions.
6. Eclampsia and Vaginal Cesarean Section
I. H. Carstens, Detroit.
Mild attacks of eclampsia can be controlled by
veratrum and other remedies until labor can be
induced by slow methods.
Severe attacks occurring one after the other and
threatening the life of the patient can be saved only
by prompt delivery. This can best be done by
vaginal cesarean section.

THIRD DAY, FRIDAY, MAY 27th
1.30 P. M. STANDARD
Election of Chairman and Orator of Section,
I. Hysteria; Its Relation to Obstetrics and Gyne-
cology Geo. F. Buti«er, Alma Sanitarium .
There should be a distinction between hysteria and
hysteroid states. The first is a psychic instability
affecting the central nervous system, removing the
checks on the local innervation of structures and
organs whereby they acquire undue action. This
increased activity is followed by local exhaustion
and perchance secondary local morbid states which
persist after the hysteric explosion ^las disappeared

Jour. M. S. M. S.
7.
These conditions affect the organs of nutrition, oxid- ^^
ation, and elimination as well as the genitalia.
Disorders of these organs through emotional exalta-
tion and secondary depression often produce nerve
tire and auto-intoxication with hysterical results.
Removal of the genital morbid state removes a ^*
predisposing and continuing etiologic factor, but
does not remove the more important secondary
etiologic factors— nerve tire and auto-intoxication
which it has set into action, hence gynecology will 6.
not suffice.
Pregnancy being a new factor introduced into an
organism which disturbs the physiologic balance
hitherto existing is, according to Virchow's defini'
tion of pathology, a pathologic, but nosologic state
considered from the standpoint of the mother. As it
involves early undue assimilation and later under
elimination it sets up nerve tire and auto-intoxica-
tion, hence its frequent hysteroid aspect.
Grafted on a degenerative or neurosal enfeebled
organism from involution, traumatism, essential
fevers, auto-intoxication, etc., it often upsets the
feeble nervous balance and produces the hysteric
constitution.
2. Physiologic Therapeutics in Gynecology
' J. H. Kbllogg, Battle Creek.
There is no branch of medicine in which the
natural or medicinal agents, which are include^
under the general title "Physiologic Therapeutics,'*
render greater service than in the special depart-
ment of gynecology. Hydriatic measures afford the
most effective means for combatting acute and
chronic pelvic inflammations, preparing patients
for important surgical procedures, and bringing them
to successful recovery after grave operations.
Massage, manual and mechanical Swedish move-
ments,*^ and various special forms of gymnastics are
essential factors in the curative treatment of chronic
pelvic congestions and displacements of pelvic viscera .
Electrotherapy renders essential aid in the treatment
of various circulatory disturbances, and painful dis-
orders of the pelvic region. Phototherapy and
thermotheraphy are also capable of rendering valu-
able service in this class of disorders, accomplishing
certain results which can not be so well secured in
any other way. This paper endeavors to present
in some detail the technique of the various methods
by which the physiologic agents mentioned, and
others, may be utilized in>the various disorders the
treatment of which is commonly referred to Gyne-
cologists.
3. Infection of the Biliary Tract
H. W. LONGYEAR, Detroit.
Three vulnerable points in the peritoneal cavity
through which pathogenic germs may enter, viz,:
female genital tract, appendix vermiformis and
biliary tract. Infection of biliary tract may be with
or without gall stones. Severe symptoms occur as
result of occlusion of ducts, either by inflammation
or by mechanical means, when invaded by patho- i.
genie germs. Mild symptoms, resembling malaria, '2.
occur without occlusion. Cause of fever in such 3.
cases often obscure. 4.
Typhoid and colon bacillus 'most common form. 5,
Medication of use to allay cholangitis and to pro- 6.
mote drainage. Incision and drainage usually nee- 7.
essary to radical cure. Complete disinfection of tract 8.
not practicable. I/>ng continued drainage occasion- 9.
ally necessary. 10.
An effective bile-fistula pad for collecting the bile 11.
and preventing the soiling of clothing and dressings. 12.
