Horse-hair has not this objection : it does notbecome saturated with septic material in its passage throughthe lumen of the gut, and a single strand does not permitof capillary action. Maunsells operation is more easily and rapidly per-formed than any other method of circular enterorraphy ; — ;.,,-,k. ^?-•^^^^Ty^^^^^.
