In order to test in this case of circumscribed infiltra-tion once more the value (which I doubted) of the galvano-cautery, Iattempted to destroy the infiltration by this means. The consequencewas a decided aggravation of the dysphagia, and of the irritation causingthe cough, without any positive success. The cauterized parts were redand swollen, as was also the adjacent mucous membrane of the arytenQids;a thick, felted eschar occupied the region burned for fifteen days, and inspite of cocaine and menthol would not come away.
