O'Dwyer, of New York; the first fifty appearing- in the Medical Record of October 29th, 1887, and the second fifty in the New York Med- ical Journal of January 14th, 1888. These cases were treated by Dr. O'Dwyer, in his private practice, carefully reported, and do not include sixty-five hospital and experimental cases, that also occurred in his practice. These statistics, while they do not vary much from my own, add one hundred cases to the record, thus enabling the reader to better determine the value of the operation, and are for this reason too valuable to be omitted.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21447615_0099.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
