Itrequires no great effort to secure recordsof unfavorable results in cases whereradical surgical methods were institutedwithin a few days of the first indicationof the disease. This skepticism increasesproportionately as the time betweendiagnosis and removal. We have no great occasion to con-gratulate ourselves on the managementof such cases, and any proposal for im-provement should meet with kind andearnest consideration.
