account OF the QislOugulent u
polypus. A polypus is a tumor of
a pyramidal shape and of fingers
growth with several peduncles or
roots. 1t has caused Mr.. Walls
considerable pain and annoy ance
for the past,two years. A severe
fit of sncezing caused the peduncles
to give way. Then he secured a
hair pin and ran it up his nose. He
succeeded in getting the end of the
halrpin under one OF the roots and
then one good steady pull did the
rest and the polypus fell to the
| floor. It pressed on the soft bones
to such an extent that at times he
imagined he had neuralgia.
