Neuralgia is manifested by violentparoxysmal pain in the trajectory ofa nerve. This disease, unless it is ex-ceedingly severe and persistent, istreated, as a rule, by the of alcohol or osmic acid intothe nerve may secure relief or neuralgia is due to adhesions aboutthe nerve or to the pressure of scar orcallus, these conditions should be.

There is some e\idence that neuralgia arises, at least occasionally, from dilatation ofthe vessels of the sheath and subsequent edema and exudation. Ifthis be the case cure may follow opening the sheath and separatingadhesions between the sheath and nerve (Robert M. Simon, in , April 10, 1909). Neuralgia of stumps and scars is a surg
