    ment is capable of curing all such cases, it does show a pos- sibility of bringing about a favorable result, the importance of which must not be ignored. Orbital growths are always more or less vague and unsatisfactory as regards treatment. The usual course of antisyphilitic remedies is but very occa- sionally of value, and in those cases in which operation is performed considerable mutilation is always necessary. If, then, the X-ray is endowed with properties such as have been shown by the report of the preceding and other cases, is it not advisable to consider it in all cases of this class before resorting to any surgical operation ? The collection of a large number of cases so treated would answer this question positively, but until such a collection is made, isolated cases, such as the one just described, should demand consideration.
