The cellular elements,except at one or two points, are not prominent. Themicroscope therefore shows as pure a form of fibroustumor (fibroma) as occurs. Dr. Cutter exhibited a MODIFICATION OF THE ECRASEUR FOR OPERATIONS EST DEEP CAVITIES, lately invented by himself, and found to work admirablyin a recent case of intra-uterine tumor, where all otherforms of ecraseur proved useless. The case referred tooccurred in the practice of Dr. W. S. Brown, of Stone-ham, Mass., who would soon report it to the Society. Dr. Cutters modification consists of a straight orcurved flattened brass tube, eight inches long, one-eighthinch wide, and one-fourth inch tjiick, inside one end it is soldered to a thimble at the top. This. thimble is perforated so that the hollow of the tube andthe hole in the thimble correspond. The thimble is fit-ted to the distal end of an ecraseur, — the common me-dium-sized one of Tiemann. The flat of the thimble andtube correspond with the flat of the ecraseur. Thethimble is not soldered to the ecraseur, but fits it as a 1871.] Proceedings of the Society. 11 common thimble does the finger. When applied, thewire runs through the tube, thimble, and end of theecraseur, and is attached to the nut of the the screw is turned, the tractile force draws thethimble directly on to the instrument, and holds it tight. In application, say to the uterine cavity, the tubeshould be passed up, to see if its curve fits that of theuterine wall it follows. If not, it may be bent to fit ends of a loop of common annealed iron wire, , one
