After a practical experience of two years in treating tumors by a new method, that of injecting boiling water into the growth, Dr. John A. Wyeth of this city, has made a public announce- ment of his new system. He says that, as not a single accident has oc- curred in any of his operations, and as the results have been very satis- factory, he*feels justified in recom- mending the method to the medical profession, In his operations Dr. Wy- eth employs a syringe with a metal cylinder and adjustable piston, with needles of varying size.

Small quan- tities of water are injected and the operation is repeated after a week or ten days. In large tumors the water is kept at the boiling point while the injections are being made. For thi purpose he has devised a long metal instrument under the barrel of which, while the operation is in progr a Bunsen burner is held, thus main- taining the high temperature of the water in the barrel of the syringe. During treatment the patient is put under the influence of narcotics, Dr, Wyeth adds that in no instance in his experience did any painful symptoms or septic reaction occur, QUEEN WILL VISIT CHICAGO.
