ton Of the umbilical opening Is deter
mined. II the intestines do not pass
back into the abdominal cavity Of their
own accord. they should be pressed
back with the fingers. The hernia sack
il then held by the assistant and a
strong cord tied around its base close
up to the abdominal wall. The ligature
should be tied tight enough to cut of
the circulation in the sack and cause
it to slough of. The swelling caused
by the ligature lie sufficient to close
the opening and in few weeks 1t will
become obliterated. The simple lig-
ature will answer for small rupture,
but If large, multiple Hgature must
be used. The seat Of the operation is
first washed with an anttseptic wash.
A slightly curved needle carrying q
heavy linen thread that has been lying
in an antiseptic solution Is then passed
thru the base Of the sack close up to-
the abdomen, the thread divided and
each half tied separately, or one-half
can be tied and the needle carrying the
other half again passed thru and tied.
The operation Is repeated until the
necessary stitches have been taken. In

of the sack and it's contents, the hernia
can not be reduced, and It will be nec-
easary to cut into the sack and break

the opening by stitching across from
