A NASAL SCISSORS. By Frank Hamilton Potter, M. D., Lecturer on Laryngology, Medical Dept. Niagara These scissors can be used with great advantage in many operative pro-cedures upon the nasal passages. The cut above illustrates a new form of theinstrument, which it is thought, possesses sufficient merit for publication. Attention is called to the following points: 1. The hand of the operator is alwaj-s below the line of vision, whether theinstrument is open or shut. 2. The blades are one and five-eighths inches long, and will thus grasp largegrowths; or, with but a slight movement of the handles, they can be openedsufficiently to trim the edges of wounds. The latter point is well illustrated inthe cut. 3. The cutting edges are serrated, so as to make an uneven wound, andthus favor the coagulation of blood. 4. It is strongly made, and thus allows, when necessary, the use of con-siderable force. Other scissors have been devised embodying some of the points mentionedabove, but it is believed that this instrument has so combined them as to in-crease the practical value of the scissors
