    Dilator, in the Birkenhead Hospital, by my colleague s and myself, and with very satisfactory results in each instance. In none has the operation been followed by any bad symptoms. Yours ever, E. L. JACOB. Barnard Holt, Esq. [No. 17.] Aylesbury, April 11, 1865. Dear Sir,— I have adopted your method of operating for stric- ture in two instances only, with the best results. I be- lieve, I am the only surgeon at our Infirmary who has used your Dilator. Believe me, dear Sir, Faithfully yours, J. N. CEELY. [No. 18.] 35, Beaumont Street, Oxford, April 14 th, 1865. ff ' ' , My dear Sir,— I am sorry that I have not any notes of the cases in which I have used your instrument. I have, I am sure, used it 26 or 27 times, with great success. I have not had a single case in which I have observed any unpleasant symptoms that are not common to the usejrf, any other instrument for the cure of stricture.
