Since Pare wrote, great improve-ments have been made in the application of the liga-tuie, and its usefulness has been greatly extemled ;especially is it jiroper to mention its application lorthe reduction of vascular tumors, including elephan-tiasis, for the relief of epilepsy, and for various othermajadies in which it is known that organs are suf-fering from an excess of blood ; but the greatestachievements of the ligature have been in the cureof aneurisms. — F. H. H.^miltun, M. D. The ligature occasions obliterations or adhesion ofthe arterial parietes by cutting through the middleand internal coats, the adhesion being tavorcd bythe formation of a coaguluui, which acts in some de-gree as a bariier against the impulse of the blood,and disappears by |ition. Iiiga-ture-carri-er. A surgical instrument witha bent stem lor passing a ligature around an artery Fig which is to be ligated, a bone which is to be dividedby a chain-saw, or other objeit which is to be cut. In the absence of special instruments therefor, theduty is performed by a curved needle carrying athread. a, Fig. 2944, is Posts chain-saw carrier, h isTienianns instiununt to carry ligature for chain-saw, f is an aneurism needle, d e are Mottsaneurism needles. / g h are Van Burens artery-ligating instruments, i is Carrols knot-tyer. j isGooches double cannula for uterine polypus, k isCharrieres lengthened chain-ecrasenr.
