If sinuses have formed, caustic tents are to be introduced, asbefore explained, until a clean sore is made. If the bones are in-. 1 FOLL-EVIL. 679 volved, they must be scraped ; next, a depending opening madeby running a seton from the bottom outward. Sometimes the mat-ter extends across the neck to the opposite side.
