    30. Male^ aged 64, was admitted in November, 1904, for sj'mptoms of pyloric obstruction. At the operation a chronic ulcer was found ; it is not stated whether it was in the duodenum or at the pylorus. The stomach was moderately dilated. The symptoms dated from only two years previously, and consisted mainly in acute pains “ in the chest” coming on from two to three hours after food. Vomiting had been slight; neither liEematemesis nor melaena had occurred. Gastro-jejunostomy was per- formed by direct suture, and jejuiio-jejunostomy was done at the same time. Kelief was immediate, and nine months later he reports himself “ much improved.” 31. Male, aged 40, was admitted in January, 1905, for chronic duodenal ulcer. The diagnosis was confirmed at operation. Posterior gastro-jejunostomy was performed with the aid of a Murphy’s button. Relief was imme- diate, and one year later he reports himself “ cured.” 32. Male, aged 32, was admitted in June, 1905. He had recovered from a perforated duodenal ulcer two months before, and was now admitted for pains which were thought to be due, in part at least, to adhesions. Gastro-jejuuos- tomy was performed, and he reports six months later that he has remained quite free from the pains. E. The following case.s complete the li>ft of all the Gastro- jejunostomies that have been performed in Guy’s Hospital up to for N on-malignant Conditions; hut none of them have been traceable since discharge from the Hospital. 33. Male, aged 34, was admitted in October, 1900. At the operation a cicatrised pyloric ulcer was found, with many surrounding adhesions. Gastro-jejunostomy, with the aid of a Murphy’s button, was followed by great relief up to the time of his discharge.
