Abstract

by the presence of some morbid or foreign matter in its interior, or by the presure produced by a redundancy of bony deposit, it appears evident that the removal of a piece of the shell of the bone is the rational mode of treatment. An opportunity is thereby afforded at once for the escape of any confined matter, and the tension of the part is relieved; and it appears not improbable, from the favourable effects hitherto obtained by this mode of treatment, that it may hereafter be extended to the relief of many cases of protracted and obscure affection of the osseous system. 13, Dover Street, Piccadily, September 1852.
