The ophthalmoScope to see the re-

then a series of eyes on sticks that
could be thrust into the dark re-

to see the inside of the bladder and
the p~roctoScope to see the inside

Peritonescope and Gastroscupe
The latest of these extensions Il
the eye are the peritoneoscope and
the gastroScope.
The peritoneoscope is an electric
lighted stick which can be thrust
through a minute opening IN the
abdominal wall and by moving it
around can be put into position to
see all the organs of that region.
Surgeons have long had a proceed

parotomy. This was used in cases
which had puzzled the attending
physicians and surgeons and con-
sisted of opening the abdomen as

what "a present. The periton-
