MICROSCOPICAL AND CHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE INFIRMARY. Case of Fungus Hœmatodes. (Reported by THOMAS JOSEPH TURNBULL, Dresser.) J. S. aged 34, from the North Riding of Yorkshire, was admitted a patient into the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Infirmary, (under the care of Sir John Fife,) on the 24th April, with a large tumour, extending from the ilium to the lower third of the femur. She says she received a blow from a piece of wood five years ago, on the seat of the tumour. This swelling gradually increased in size, accompanied by frequent lancinating pain. She says she has, in general, enjoyed very good health. On the fifth day after her admittance into the hospital, a consultation was held, and the removal of the tumour decided upon. Being placed under the influence of chloroform, Sir John Fife commenced the operation by two elliptical incisions, beginning a little below the anterior superior spinous process of the ilium, and extending down the outside of the thigh about fifteen inches; the integument included was about four inches broad between the centre of the Ineisions. Under the fascia a very thick cyst came into view. The scalpel was passed through at one extremity to confirm the opinion formed of the contents, which were medullary with grumous blood. The cyst was then dissected entire from the sartorius muscle, the vastus externus, and lastly, from the femur. Eight arteries were tied, and the wound brought together by sutures. Since the removal of the tumour, the symptoms of constitutional disturbance have not been more severe than expected from so extensive an operation. The wound is now a healthy, granulating surface; and the patient will shortly be able to leave the hospital. The nature of the disease precluded all hope of success, but from the circumstances of the inguinal glands appearing free from disease, and the tumour being, as it were, confined and circumscribed by a dense cyst, which was dissected out entire.
VACCINATION AND SMALL-POX. To the Editor of THE LANCET. SIR,— The interesting discussion on small-pox at the Medico-Chirurgical Society, and the doubts there expressed of the security afforded by vaccination, induce me to submit the following cases for the consideration of the profession, as any facts, however isolated, which would tend to make vaccination more secure, are, in my opinion, of importance. A young lady, about twenty, the second daughter of a gentleman residing in this neighbourhood, after a country excursion was seized with rigors and other febrile symptoms, which eventuated in a smart attack of small-pox: the pustules
