HOT WATER FOR TUMORS.
normal GrOwths by the Use
of Injections.

After a practical experience of two
years in treating tumOrs by a new
method, that of injecting boiling water
into the growth, DIR. John 4. Wyeth, of
this city, has made public announce
ment of his new system. He SAYS
that, as not a single accident has oc-
CURED in any of his operations, and
as the results have been very salts
factory, he feels justified in recom-
mending the method to the medical
profession. In his operations DIR. Wy
eth employs syringe with a metal
cylinder and adjustable piston, with
needles of varying size. Using the or
binary aseptic precautions, water is
taken directly from a caldron and in-
jected into the substance of the tumor.
The water must be at temperature
of from 1870 to PIP degrees Fahrenheit
or even higher.
Three forms of vascular tumors
were treated by DIR. Wyeth-the ar
terial, the capillary and the venous.
In operating on what are known as
mothers marks" on the eyelid. nostril
or margin of the lip he employs small
instrument with a delicate needle. In
these cases the water used is n little
below the boiling point. Small guam
titles of water are injected and the
operation is repeated after 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 long metal
instrument under the barrel of which.
while the operation is in progress,
a Bunsen burner is held, thus main
tanning the high temperature of the
water in the barrel of the syringe.
During treatment the patient is put
under the influence of narcotics. DIR.
Wyeth adds that in no instance in his
experience did any painful symptoms
or septic reaction occur.
