The Oesophagoscope.—Sidney Yankauer, ofNew York, cites four cases in which foreign bodies inthe oesophagus were removed by the cesophagoscope : 1. A round body was located just above thesternal notch by means of the flouroscope. A shortKillian tube was passed, the penny seized and with-drawn with a forceps. 2. A figure of a rooster—a toy—six by fifteenby twenty-one m.m. was removed. 3. An attempt to remove the penny without theoesophagoscope had failed, but with it, was easily re-moved later. 4. A piece of brass, seventeen by six by eightm.m., was swallowed. Upon the third attempt, theforeign body was removed. The boy died threedays subsequently.

One was can-cerous, and the patient was enabled to swallow liq-uids, which he had been unable to do previously. The second was chiefly spasmodic, in which theresult was unsatisfactory. The third was cicatricial, and was cured. Eigh-teen months later food could be swallowed withoutdifficulty. In three fibrous cases the results were success-ful. The negative oesophageal electrode is used witha large positive dispersing electrode on the backor chest, with three to five m.m. of current. Thesize of the electrodes should be gradually increaseI,as in dilatation. THE ELECTROSCOPE. 533
