In order to reach growths in different parts of the larynx, severaltubes are required for the same handle, as the forceps have only onemovement the upward movement of the lower blade), which is.

These forceps are only adapted for removing very smallgrowths, but they are particularly convenient for effecting evulsion atthe anterior commissure of the vocal cords. lScraseurs of different construction have been used for the removalof laryngeal growths with more or less success since the invention ofthe laryngoscope. In this country Drs. Walker, Gibb, and GeorgeJohnson have employed them ; whilst in France an feraseur, combinedwith a kind of dart, which is said to transfix the growth, has beenrecommended by Moura-Borouillou. LARYNGEAL INSTRUMENTS. 191 To these instruments I always entertained the objection, that thewire was very likely to be displaced, and that the growth could only beaccidentally ensnared after repeated trials. This inconvenience was,iiowever, overcome by Professor Stoerk, who had an ecraseur constructedin such a way that the wire is conceale
