For this purposeSajous snare is usually the most satisfactory; it can be intro-duced concealed, and when in position the loop protruded. Dr. W. E. Casselberry (N. Y. Med. Jour., November 14,1891) advises breaking or cutting off the antero-inferior portionof the middle spongy bone in order to get into the middle meatusmore rapidly, if in any case this cannot otherwise be accom-plished, where the polypi are attached to the margins of thehiatus semilunaris. This has been advocated by a few others,but most rhinologists do not advise it. Polypi which project into the naso-pharynx may be re-moved by curved tube-attachments, as usually made with.

To a few operators, the most satisfactory method of removalis by means of the galvano-cautery wire. The platinum or,better, Glitsmanns platinum and iridium loop is passed aroundthe pedicle, if possible; when in position, the wire is to betightened until it grasps the tumor or pedicle quite firmly; thecircuit is then completed, and the growth divided by graduallylessening the loop. In this operation the chief difficulty encoun-tered is in suiTOunding the pedicle; this accomplished, the 114 DISEASES OF THE NOSE AND THROAT. results are very satisfactory, although personal experience greatlyfavors a careful and thorough removal with the cold wire.
