    ELECTRICITY vs. TAIT, OR THE USE OF ELEC- TRICITY IN INFLAMMATION AS FOUND IN GYNECOLOGY. By Geo. T. Hulbert, M. D., late Superintendent Ftmale Hospital, St. Louis. [Bead in abstract before the St. Louis Obstetrical and Gynecological Society, June 21, 1888.] THE era in progress, which the work of Lawson Tait has marked in gynecology cannot but be a source of pleasure and satisfaction to the fair and just minded, and the inestimable benefits that have accrued to suffering woman are not to be gainsaid. It is not Avith any purpose to criticize Tait or Tait's work, for of him and his work I have a profound admiration and approval, and trust that he may be spared many years to the orofession and to the work before him, that I speak at this time. But my purpose is to present to this society a few thoughts on diseases of the uterine appendages, and ro place on record work done pos- sibly within the field of conservatism, when compared with the more radical methods of Tait, but work done with the same ob- ject in view, namely, the recovery of the health of the patient.
