. The science and art of surgery, embracing minor and operative surgery. Comp. from standard allopathic authorities, and adapted to homoeopathic therapeutics, with a general history of surgery from the earliest periods to the present time .. . by the removal of the os unguis and interior partof the left superior maxillary bone, is exposed. Probing and Division of the Puncta and Canaliculi.—Pig. 345. Fig. 345, exhibits the mode of intro- ducing a probe through the upperpunctum. The patient may sit in achair, his head resting on the chestof the surgeon standing behind him ;or he may lie on a steady table, hishead on a firm pillow. A delicateprobe is entered at the punctum, andcarried inward along the canaliculus,till it reaches the lachrymal sac ; theouter angle of the eyelids is drawnlupon so as to render all the parts tense. Fig. 346. If now thehandle of the probe is elevated, the point will take the course of[the dotted line, and emerge in the inferior meatus of the nose,[just behind the anterior end of the lower turbinated bone as seenin Fig. 345. A probe can be introduced in the reverse directionfrom below upward, by curving it somewhat sharply about aninch from its extremity, and entering it beneath the turbinated ait. ^■■« 520 SCIENCE AND ART OF SURGEBY.
