Diseases of the ovaries : their diagnosis and treatment . and a great number of smaller globules, not biggerthan peas. Fatal constriction of the intestines had beenthe result of the rotations of the tumour, and Eokitanskyaccounts for the peculiar condition of the contents by thechurning motion. Dr. Eouth found the fat and hair in acyst which he removed from an old woman in much the samestate. The balls had concentric layers of amorphous fatround a nucleus of cholesterine crystal. The question whether these dermoid cysts are the resultof impregnation (direct or secondary) does not need have a character quite distinct from that of extra-uterine fcetations, and grow, independently of spermatic con-tact, in young children, and even before birth, and insituations and under conditions where such influence wouldbe simply impossible. The peculiar formative and repro-ductive power inherent in the tissues of the body is asoperative in the production of these vagaries as it is in the DERMOID CYSTS REMOVED BY OPERATION. In both cases the. crops of multiform morbid growths which spring up every-where under circumstances of which we can give no rationalexplanation. The following is a summary account of the cases of thiskind, which have occurred in my practice, where the tumourswere removed by operation. The first and second cametogether, and were published in grew, as shown in the annexedcut, from the inner wall of the cysts,and hung into the cavity, where it wasmatted together with masses of epithe-lial cells, which had undergone fattydegeneration. The hairs had distinctbulbs, and grew from follicles. Manyof them were shed—indeed only a smallproportion of them retained their con-nection with the cyst wall. In one casethere were forty-six pints of fluid col-lected, and the cysts weighed four teeth grew from the lining membrane of two ofthem. Both patients recovered. All the other cases havecome under my notice since the year 1869. Case 3
