    laris being laid bare by incision, M. Berard directed a trocar downwards, backwards, and inwards, perforating the internal wall of the orbit. The trocar was immediately replaced by a silver canula about half an inch lOng, enlarged at its two extremities, and on closing the mouth and nos- trils of the patient, the air passed through the canula, showing that it was well placed. Three days after the operation the small wound had cica- trized; no bad symptoms followed. In two months, the patient having neglected the directions of the surgeon, returned with epiphora, when M. Berard changed the canula, and in two months the epiphora had com- pletely disappeared, and the patient was quite well in February last.— Bull. Gen. de Therapeut., July, 1841.]
