Mr. Lawrence expressly acknowledges it. He says:\"Now we do occasionally find that the two diseases exist together; but this is comparatively rare.\" (Lancet, of March 13th, 1830, p. 810.) In the reports of the Lock Hospital, as reported in the Lancet, of October 25th, 1834, p. 189, will be found cases of syphilis and gonorrhoea coexistent in the same patient. Dr. Fenwick gives, in the Medical Gazette, a report of 943 cases. Of these, 252 were cases of simple gonorrhoea; in 170, sores existed with gonorrhoea; and in 521, sores existed alone. It has occurred to me, in looking over this paper, that the questioni of the noncoexistence of these two diseases appears never to have entered his mind. He addresses himself not to that question, but to the advantage of giving mercury when such a combination exists. The only other authority I will draw attention to is Rayer, who, when treating on syphilitic diseases of the skin, speaks of what he calls the simple venereal ulcer, the vemerola vulgaris of Evans, and the common chancre of several French pathologists. He says they are \" the most common of all forms of venereal ulcer ;\" \"they are frequently acconipanied with blenorrhoea of the glans, with urethral gonorrhoea, and with phimosis;\" and \" that he has observed every variety of venereal eruption and venereal growth as consequences of these sores.\" But may I not appeal to the experience of every man who has had even limited opportunities of judging whether he has not repeatedly met with gonorrhoea complicated with sores, whiclh in otlher cases he should have said immediately were syphilitic, and treated as such.","PeriodicalId":20791,"journal":{"name":"Provincial Medical and Surgical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1852-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87488590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The old method 16 times; and that of Hunter, with Scarpa's ligature 66 times. The number of cases of true aneurism was 33, of which two only were women. The results were, 10 unsuccessful and 23 cures. The number of false aneurisms was 10, all of which were successfully treated; Of the six cases of arterio-venous aneurism, for which the humeral artery was tied in each case, four were successful, .and in two amputation was necessitated by gangrene or secondary haemorrhage. These statistical facts will be read with interest by the English surgeon, by whom the thick ligature used by Scarpa is now carefully eschewed, but the small number of cases (4) in which secondary hbemorrhage occurred, will certainly bear out M. Roux in his attachment to this mode of operation. The difference between the EngLish and French modes of conducting the ligature of arteries is so great, both in the operation itself and in the dressing of the wound, that we rejoice to lind that the above facts will form part of a complete work on surgery, which M. Roux is now preparing, and of which the memoir presented to the Societe de Chirurgie is only an instalment.

Letters apologising for absence were read from Dr. Woodforde, Taunton; Dr. Sydenham, Yeovil; Dr. Pope, Somerton; Mr. Crouch, Bruton; Mr. Valentine, Somerton, &c., &c. The alterations made in the Draft of the new Medical Reform Rill, published in the Journal of May 12th, were read. The members considered that there are some clauses which may be greatly improved, and confirmed the resolutions of the last meeting, published in the same number of the Journal. A very interesting \" Case of Strangulated Hernia\" was brought forward by Mr. HENRY NORRIS (and is sent for publication). Much discussion ensued on the various modes of relief and methods of operation, and from several cases brought forward the members considered that in this part of the country the results of operations are highly favourable, a fatal termination occurring almost entirely in those cases where recourse to the knife has been too long delayed. Mr. HUGH NORRIS communicated a case in which pleuro-pericarditis instantaneously came on without previous illness or exposure, and early prostration terminated fatally on the 7th day, an autopsy revealing a cretaceous deposit of the size of a large walnut surrounding the right bronchus and pressing on the pulmonary artery, the substance being in the pulmonary texture. The subject of placenta pra3via caused much discussion, and elicited many illustrations of success in practice from early recourse to evacuation of the uterus, the method of previously detaching the placenta finding little advocacy. Some medico-legal cases were discussed, the members deriving much information from the medical Coroner for West Somerset, who was one of the visitors. The HONORARY SECRETARY urged the necessity of a good example being set by medical gentlemen in subscribing to the support of the new Benevolent College. It was resolved that the next meeting of the Society be held at Crewkerne.","PeriodicalId":20791,"journal":{"name":"Provincial Medical and Surgical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1852-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91407997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
