: will cure it?
An incision should be made, slanting-
ly, with a sharp pointed bistoury or
knife upon the right side of the neck at
J the base of the abscess. The cut must
not be so deep as to come in contact
r with the spinal marrow. The opening
at the base of the tumor should be made

2 ly escape as fast as it forms. A seton
: should be passed down from the natural
opening at the top of the tumor through
the artificial opening made at it's base.
| Before inserting the seton it should be
q dipped in tincture of cantharides. This
. will be found the safest plan to adopt for
: promoting healthy granulation and adj
t hesion of the walls of the tlmor. The
t tistulous track is not probably very long
unless it has been some time stan6iog,
o and the tape seton will work its way
a gradually and efficaciously out, by which
: time the cure is made A stimulus is
: also necessary to be applied to the inte
: rlor of the tumor, by resaturating the
), seton, in three or four days after it il
L. first inserted, with solution made by
II dlssolving ten grains of nitrate of silver
o in one ounce of cold water. This latte
If should be applied twice week until
n healthy discharge appears. Then stop

one drachm of chloride of zinc dissolve,

A. only once, and the nitrate of silver OF
