    may not be trustworthy guides for you in these great emergencies. Let your actions be governed by the indi- vidual circumstances which arise in connection with each particular case. Consider every case by itself, and where the indications which I have already given you are present, trephine; but where they are absent adopt the plan of non-interference. The subject of the manner in which the operation is to be performed will be con- sidered in our demonstrative course upon the cadaver; and now, Gentlemen, I will say no more to-day upon the question of trephining, but leave this subject for you to reflect upon and carefully to study over, in the hope that the few hints which I have given you may awaken a new interest in a surgical theme as trite as it is important, and as difficult as it is fascinating.
