There are other cases in which it is evident that thedisease is located deep within the hemispheres or onthe base of the brain entirely beyond the reach of thesurgeon. It is therefore evident that only in a limited number -*7 of a. prctuD.

Operations may be performed for the relief of epi-lepsy, for the cure of imbecility, for the removal ofclots, for the opening of abscesses, for the excision oftumors, for the relief of intracranial pressure—withor without drainage of the lateral ventricles—and forthe cure of traumatic insanity. In the following THE DIAGNOSIS OP CEREBRAL DISEASE. 15 chapters each of these conditions will be discussed, thepathology of the disease being especially considered,and the results of operations hitherto done being fullydescribed.
