A manual of diseases of the throat and nose : including the pharynx, larynx, trachea, oesophagus, nose and naso-pharynx . other case, which is related by Lichtenberg,2 the polypus wasfound to spring from the upper turbinated body; there were also somepolypoid excrescences, apparently independent of the larger growth,attached to the under surface of the cribriform plate of the ethmoid. Themicroscope does not appear to have been used in either Gerdys or Lichten-bergs cases. The treatment consists in removal of the tumor, if possible per viasnaturales. According to its situation, it should be attacked, either anteri-orly or posteriorly, by evulsion, abscission, or electric cautery. Lichten-berg, however, in order to obtain access to the growth on which he operated,was obliged to perform temporary resection of the bridge of the following are the details of iny own case: Mrs. M., aged thirty-five, consulted me, by the advice of Mr. Crowdy, of , Newfoundland, on February 12, 1877.
