Treatment Of Hernia
By Injection Popular

cd, exposes the peritoneal sac,
which has been forced into the
hernial canal, and ties it off. The
injection method undertakes to put
an irritating solution in this place
which causes the two edges Of the
sac to become adherent and oblit-
crates it in that way.
One important feature Of the in
lection treatment is the economic
ASPECT. The costs have been
worked out in a large New York
clinic on workmen's compensation
cases, where it has beenf found that
the savings by means OF the lnJec-
ton treatment are about SOU a
case. This is because the patient
keeps right on working during
treatment, the costs of surgical
Decentralization and Of works time
COMPENSATION are eliminated.
1T is very important that the de-
cision as to the method Of treat
ment of hernia should be left TO
the surgeon. There are certain
cancellations which absolutely

method.
