Mr. K., of Brighton, Mass., thirty years old, consulted me for a very large direct inguinal hernia, on the right side, of seven years' standing, and irreducible up to the time of his admission to the Infirmary. After several sittings, however, the protrusion was reduced by the taxis, and operated upon January 10, 1855. Mr. S., of Providence, R. I., consulted me for double in- guinal hernia — on the left side, of three years' standing, on the right side, of but one. Both hernia3 were operated on February 26, 1855. ]Mr. H., of Peacham, Vt., consulted me for an inguinal hernia, on the left side, accompanied by a varicocele on ihe same side. Both affections were operated upon in June, 1855. Mr. G., of New York, placed under my care his young child with an umbilical hernia of considerable size, and with a large hernial opening. Operated upon in January, 1856. Mr. B., of New York, aged thirty-five years, consulted me for a direct inguinal hernia, on the right side, of twelve years' standing, which he was unable to retain with any truss. He also had an umbilical hernia, which was very painful on account of a portion of it being irreducible. After various sittings, for four days, this protrusion was finally re- duced by the taxis, and both hernias were then operated on for cure in February, 1856. Mr. P., of Charlestown, Mass., consulted me for a femoral hernia, on the right side, of some five years' standing. Operated upon in April, 1856.
