After a prac 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 §& that, as not a single accident has o curred in any of his operations, and as the results have been very s tis- 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. Using the o dinary aseptic precautions, water is taken directly from a caldron and in- jected into the substance of the tumor, The water must be at a temperature of from 190 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit or even higher. Three forms of vascular tumors were treated by Dr, Wyeth—the ar- terial, the capillary and the venous, In operating on what are known as “mother’s marks” on the eyelid, nostril or margin of the lip he employs a small instrument with a delicate needle. In these cases the water used is a little below the boiling point. 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 this purpose he has devised a long metal instrument under the barrel of which, while the operation is in progress, 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 narcot Dr, Wyeth adds that in no instance in his experience of two | A LIVELY COMBINATION.
