Abstract

3. I know of no method that will give better results if persisted in to the extent I have recommended.4. I know of no cure that is as safe in the hands of the average practitioner.5. I know of no book in which a sufficiently definite detailed technic is given.(5. The cutting methods are all objectionable and irra¬ tional in cases of arrested development.I might add that, in patients who are hyperesthetic or intolerant of pain, this treatment can be combined with other treatment. For instance, if the patient will not allow a sound of the same size to be passed each time, and the cervix gradually contracts, divulsion under anesthesia can be performed two or three or four times at intervals of two or three or four months and the dila¬ tation kept approximately at the same degree by the sound between times.
