    the removal of the parts concerned saved the patient's life. I have had experience of other similar cases in which the detachment of emboli ceased after operations of the kind now described. It must not be understood that I wish to recom- mend operation in all cases of thrombosis in varix, since every case must of necessity be judged accord- ing to its merits, but speaking generally the principle is, in my opinion, sound, and the treatment is one which should always be carefully considered in cases of the kind. Such are the views upon some of the points of interest connected with varix which are submitted as worthy of attention. It would be, I fear, unreason- able to assume that they will meet with the approval of everyone; they are, however, based upon the careful study of a great number of cases of a common complaint in which a large experience is not very difficult to obtain. I can at least say with certainty, unless my experience is strangely at fault, that the treatment of varix, if conducted upon the lines which I have endeavoured to indicate, will prove entirely satisfactory alike to the patient and the practitioner.
