(Liston. Videlaas Elements of Surgery, ° p. 410.). Removal of Portions of the Tongue. On account of malignant disease, occult, or open, as well as on accountof erectile tumor, it may be necessary to remove a part of the disease, involving the whole organ, may be regarded as irre-mediable. Carcinoma and Cancer show their ordinary characteristics here, andfollow their usual course. A detailed statement of the symptoms andprogress of such affections is therefore unnecessary {Principles, 3d pp. 310, 313). Removal may be effected either by knife or by ligature. The formeris employed when the doomed part is situate anteriorly, and not exten-sive ; hemorrhage, under such circumstances, being readily under con-trol. By a volsella, the part is seized, stretched, and made to projectoutwardly; and by a bistoury satisfactory ablation is leisurely and care-fully effected. Hemorrhage having been arrested, the wound is approxi-mated by suture, if its size and form permit. In other cases the ligature
