When the instrument has pene- trated to near the median Une, the sharp edge of the instrument is, by a twist of the hand, turned perpendicularly in the direction of the muscle, and by a careful sawing motion, the division of its fibers is accomplished. This is easily detected by a peculiar crack- ing sound, which ceases as soon as the entire thickness of the muscle is divided. The edge of the instrument can then readUy be felt under the skin. The cutting must be carefully done in order to avoid the division of the entire thickness of the skin. A second and third division must follow, the number being equal on each side. There is also another subcutaneous mode, practiced by Ger-.
