A treatise on diseases of the air passages : comprising an inquiry into the history, pathology, causes, and treatment, of those affections of the throat called bronchitis, chronic laryngitis, clergyman's sore throat, etc., etc. . , towhich is securely attached a small round piece of fine sponge, (a.)The curve which will be found suited to the greatest number ofcases, is one, which will form the arc of one quarter of a circle(as in the drawing), whose diameter is four inches. Fig. 2. Knife for the excision of hypertrophied tonsils, havinga strong handle, with a long slender blade, slightly hawk-billed,and terminating in a blunt or probe point. Fig. 3. Pair of crooked forceps ; one blade of the instrumentterminating in small claws ; the other, of the form of a doubletenaculum. With this instrument the tonsil may be seized,drawn out from between the pillars of the fauces, and firmlyheld, when it can be readily excised at any point. Fig. 4. Curved scissors, for truncating the uvula. Fig. 5. Forceps, with long and slender blades, finely serrated,for the purpose of seizing the extremity of the uvula, which maybe retained, while excision is made with the scissors, above de-scribed.
