to introduce his methods.

Polypus is a growth having a stem.
1t may grow in the nose, in the
throat, from the womb or inside OF
it, or in the rectum. In fact it may
grow in any cavity Of the body hav-
ing an external outlet. When grow
ing in the nose it interferes with
breathing, often closing up one OF
both nostrils entirely. DR.. Toel has
removed as many as IA polypi from
single nostril. In many cases these
polypi grow from a cleft in di-
seased, carious, tuberculous bone in
the nasal cavity.
The usual process is to cut them
out with scissors, or catch them IN
a forceps and tear out pOlypus and
bone at the same time, or to snare
them off with steel wire The cut
ting and tearing operations are eX-
tremely bloody and have all the dan
gers of such operations, as possible
blood poisoning, pain and return
of the growth. The steel wire snare
operation is bloodless if very slowly
performed, often taking from l to
= hours, but the parts are crushed
and the danger of blood poisoning
is there.
Aside of this, the operation causes
much pain in its long duration.
Polypi of the throat, womb and
rectum are removed by the same
means having the same dangers and
drawbacks as those for polypi of the
nose.
The electrical operation as used by
DR.. Toel is free of any loss of blood,
there is none or very little pain as
all the blood vessels and lymphatic
vessels are sealed up during the op-
GRAFTON. There is no danger of blood
poisoning and as the root from which
the polypus grows is destroyed there
is little danger of return, and fl
nally the operation can be perform
ed in few minutes while chloroform
or ether are only necessary in the
most severe cases.
Goitre is an enlargement of the
thyroid gland laying in front of the
wind pipe. This growth is far more
frequent in women than i'll men. 1t
also is far more frquent in certain
regions of the country than in 9th
ers 1t is very frequent in Western
Oregon.
Its size often becomes very large
causing great trouble to the bearer.
But its danger lies in its pressure on
the windpipe which softens the car
tilage rings and finally congresses
them so that the patient dies from
suffocation. Especially dangerous is
that form which extends below the
breast bone when slight congestion
will often enlarge the goitre to such
an extent that the patient dies be-
fore surgeon can be called to open
the windpipe and insert a silver tube
to breathe through.
Treatment cf goitre by medicines
taken into the stomach as well as by
salves applied locally has very little
effect.
Removing the goitre with the knife
is one of the bloodiest operations
known to surgery, and if the entire
goitre is removed causes a peculiar
for mof disease which in a few years
often kills the patient.
The electrical treatment of 2oltro
as used by Dr. Toel is free from
these dangers. There is no loss of
blood, no danger from surgical
shock or blood poisoning. no pain to
amount to anything, and then only
in very severe eases, and above all
the patient is not exposed to the dan
ger of the peculiar disease depend
ing upon knife removal of the entire
goitre.
The electrical operations and treat
ments shrink and absorb the goitre
so that the pressure symptoms dis
appear and the neck returns to near
or entirely its former size.
DIR. Toel has for 80 years made a
specially of electrical operations and
treatments.
