IT has, for so long a period, been an established axiom in obstetrics, to turn in every case of arm-presentation, where turning may be yet practicable, that to propound a different resource for overcoming the difficulty attending that malposition of the child, in any case, will appear little short of hyperbolical extravagance. There was a time, however, whenfoot-version was unknown; and even at the risk of being presumed guilty of flagrant heresy against a universally-received doctrine, I lay before the profession the particulars of a case conducted upon another principle, and with a successful termination.

ON THE ADULTZEATIONF AND SUBSTITUTIONS OF MEDICINES. BY SIR JAxus MURRAY, M.D. From this essay it appears that compournd jalap pnoder is occasionally made with jalap and alum, and compot&nd ipecaw.ank powder (Dover's powder) of tartar emetic and linseed meal. Sir James M1-urray stated that he was acquainted with a very simple mode of discovering whether cod-liver oil was adulterated with vegetable oils. Some years ago he had observed in a cotton factory that where an animal oil was used the brass works did not become green, as they invariably did when a vegetable oil was used. Applying this to cod-liver oil, he placed a sa copper capsule, containing the pure oil, in a sand bath, without any copper salts being produced, while the spurious imitations threw up a quantity of sats of copper, forming a green margin on the vessel.

by the presence of some morbid or foreign matter in its interior, or by the presure produced by a redundancy of bony deposit, it appears evident that the removal of a piece of the shell of the bone is the rational mode of treatment. An opportunity is thereby afforded at once for the escape of any confined matter, and the tension of the part is relieved; and it appears not improbable, from the favourable effects hitherto obtained by this mode of treatment, that it may hereafter be extended to the relief of many cases of protracted and obscure affection of the osseous system. 13, Dover Street, Piccadily, September 1852.

asisting to correct the mal-jxeticm, by IV to borrow a naufical phrase-4he head down to and into the pelvc cavity, simultaneously with the breech being uged upwards to the fundus ? In answer to both questions, with extreme deference, I not; and should another arm-presentation case ever come in my way, under suitable circumstances, I will desire to put in practice the very same course, modified only according to variety in position of the child, to be presently noticed, which I unqualfiedly believe has been succesu in this occasion. Two inquiries suggest themselves. 1. Would the same manipulations produce a like result, if the child's right arm presented, its face and admen corresponding with those of the mother, the head still resting upon, or above her re/ht ilium? In that case, I should proceed in precisely the manner described, and hope for a similar termination. 2. Would the same management be applicable, if the longtudinal poiion of the child in utero were reversed from that in te instahce related, the presentation being, then, the right or left arm, but with the head, whether occiput or sinciput, situated on, or above, the mother's lft ilium, and the breech in the direction of her right ilium? Yes: but it would be necessary that the woman should lie upon her rightside, and that the repressing force be employed by the rih hand of the accoucheur. Leeds, Sept. 10, 1852.

aged 34, rather slender, and not of a very healthy appearance, was admitted into the Northern Hospital, under my care, on December 12th, 1851. He was labouring under aneurism of the external il'iac artery on the right side. He was a coal-heaver by employment , and was in the habit of exerting hmelf very much at times in loading carts with coal. On one occasion, about four months before admision, he felt siomething give way in his groin, and suffered. a little pain in the part for some days afterwards; he however continued to work some time after this. About a month before entering the hospital, he applied to a druggist, who thoiught he had a bubo, and gave him a liient to rub it. About four days ago, he had applied to one of the parish surgeons, who imediately suspected the nature of his complaint, and directed him to the hospital. He said that he had only perceived the tumiour about a month before, and that his attention had been attracted to it by the swellig, which at the time pulsed strongly. It was, however, unattended by pain then as well as at the time of admission, but had ever since increased daiy in size. It was about the size of a cricket-ball, of a round shape, seated above Poupart's ligament, which it pushed down towards the thigh by its pressure. A very strong impulse was communicated to the hand when placed over it; and, on applying the stethoscope, a loud bruit was heard. There was no swelling or cedema of the leg or foot. The circulation was perfectly regular and tranquil, and the action of the heart natural. December 15th. In consultation with my colleagues, it was decided that tying the comn iliac artery would be the most advisiable plan to pursue; but the man, when it was proposed to him, would not submit to the operation. It was consequently agreed to try the effect of continued pressure by means of the horseshoe tourniquet below or on the distal side of the tumour. This was continued until the 19th; on removing the tourniquet on that day, some little ulceration of the in-teguments had taken place from the pressure of the pad. As it was evident that it was doing no good, it was not continued. External pressure with the hand on the aorta stoppedl the pulsation in the …
