A young gentleman, much broken down in constitution, became affected with an abscess by the side of the anus, which opened near the latter. On passing a probe into the orifice, says our author, I found an orifice through which the matter, which amounted to an egg-cup full, had been evacuated and out passing in a probe, I found it to enter about one inch, passing upwards, and resting upon the side of the_gut; on further investigation, I found that the sinus branched about midway its course into another on] de sac, which passed rather away from the gut, and presented to the probe a rough, yielding, spongy sensa tion; at the opposite verge of the anus an inflamed pile existed. The soothing plan was continued, but it did not answer. Under these circumstances, the creosote was resorted to. Sir F. Introduced to the bottom of each cul de sac a very small dossil of lint smeared with it. In two days more the creosote was repeated, and four more applications Spread over a fortnight, nearly perfected the filling up the sinus. The red precipitate afterwards completed the cure. Case 3. A lady, of a scrofulous habit, had had for some months ulcers of the septum narium, which had resisted much and varied treatment. Sir F. Resolved to do nothing but employ the creosote locally.
