It was repeatedly cauterized with 552 AFFECTIONS OF THE LAKYXX AXD TRACHEA. fused nitrate of silver, two or three times a week, and in less than a month wascompletely removed by the treatment, the voice having recovered its originalclearness. These two cases have been selected, the one to show that the element ofdanger in severe applications is not always removed by tolerance to measuresless severe; and the other to show how readily a soft growth of recent occur-rence sometimes yields to the nitrate of silver. The appearances of the larynxbefore treatment in a case of epithelial growths, and after their destruction bychromic acid, is also illustrated (Figs. 140, 141). These occurred in a case ofphthisis.
