Treatment.—From what we have said in regard tothe pathology of hypertrophic conditions it is obvious thatpalliative treatment is of no avail and that radical measuresonly will efficiently serve. The object aimed at in the treat-ment is to produce an eschar of such shape, magnitude, anddepth as to cause, by the subsequent contraction of the result-ing scar-tissue, a shrinkage in the parts. Since the characterand size of the hypertrophies vary with the location in thenasal chamber it follows that therapeutic measures mustundergo modifications. The anterior hypertrophies generallyrequi
