![when the child went to stool the skin exterior to the anus should be drawn to one side by means of the fingers extended around. The plan suc- ceeded,and there was no descent of the bowel after¬ wards* That very painful affection, fissure of the anus, which generally resists all remedies but the division of the sphincter, has been successfully treated with enemata containing the extract of rhatany root, by M. Bretonneau and others on the continent f Some cases have been recorded in which the extraction of foreign bodies accidentally introduced into the rectum has been attended with great diffi¬ culty, on account of the violent contraction of the sphincter ani. This has led to the suggestion, by an anonymous contributor to the Medical Gazette, of the division of that muscle,]; THE HEAD AND NECK. The number of papers in our journals upon sub¬ jects connected with ophthalmic surgery indicates the great interest taken by the profession in this branch of the science. I cannot pass without notice some of the more important of them, although the time will not allow me to devote much space to this part of my address. I refer you, however, for some additional information to an article in the Medico- Chirurgical Review, July, 1842, on ophthalmolo- gical literature. * Provincial Medical Journal, July 29, 1843. + Dublin Journal of Medical Science, January, 1843.
