A practical treatise on the diseases of the ear including the anatomy of the organ . ion of Wildes Snare, with Paracentesis Needle. Scissors may sometimes be used with advantage to removeaural polypi. I have found those that are here representedvery convenient, especially for the removal of growths fromthe walls of the auditory Scissors for the Eemoval of Aural Polypi. Forceps may sometimes be employed, although I prefer thesnare and scissors to all other mechanical means for removingpolypi or granulations. Forceps, unless used with great gen-tleness and care, may wrench more than the morbid growthfrom the cavity of the tympanum, and thus do great harm. Very small pedunculated growths, such as was foundin the case recorded on page 385, may be often removed bythe simple angular-toothed forceps, figured on page 80 of 396 AUEAL POLYPI—TEEATMENT. this work. True exuberant granulations, having no pedicle,but arising from a broad surface, usually resist treatment withgreat obstinacy, because they are difficult to reach and entirelyremove with instruments, and because they usually covercarious or necrosed bone. Caustics are perhaps the onlymeans of removing such growths. The agents I usually em-ploy for such cases are strong solutions of nitrate of silver—from 40 to 480 grains to the ounce—and fuming nitric a
