    Anaesthesia enables us to remove tbe whole of the diseased portions of bony structure, however deep-seated, difficult, or protracted, the operation. The adoption of any means for the cure of neuralgia of the epididymis, and its successful application, needs no further recommendation when con- trasted with the horrible alternative of castration, hitherto in vogue. I have not descanted on topical anaesthesia, reserving the subject for illustration in another volume, should this obtain the approval and commendation of my professional brethren. I trust to be enabled to present my next “contributions” with less of the crudities that must pertain to a maiden effort at authorship, amidst the distractions of active practice and the importunities of a publisher.
