The nnthors have previously shown the beneficial effects of local sulfonamide therapy when performing hysterectomies in unclean cases, as a proplrylactic measure against mortality and morbidity. They now report twenuty-fire cervical cesarean sections, seventeen of which were definitely unclean in n-hich penicillin was used with the sulfonamides. There were no deaths in this series, and the morbidity decrcased from the previous incidence of 47.3 per cent to 12 per cent. With few exceptions, 4 Gm. of sulfonamide were implanted intraperitoneslly, and 200,000 units of penicillin were given by the intramuscular route. Hence, the addition of penicillin to the sulfonamides were a distinct help. J. P. GREENHILL.

Severe criticism is leveled against the indiscriminate use of the estrogenic hormones. The author has administered peanut oil with anrl rrithout the estrogenic hormones and obtained equally good results in the relief of symptoms at the climacteric. Use of the estrogtms should be restricted to the treatment of gonococcal vulvovnginitis, senile vaginitis, hypoplasia of the uterus, postpartal breast engorgement, some types of habitual abortion, and for its effect upon ovulation. Circumstantial evidence is presented to indicate that long-continued administration of the estrogens may be carcinogenic. The physician who administers the estrogens without first doing a pelvic examination is sharply criticized. WILLIAM RrcEEns.

The authors report a ease of endometriosis of the bladder which had its origin in the female genitals. In spite of a hysterectomy with removal of the adnexa, the patient’s symptoms were not relieved. In fact, they became worse. Examination of the bladder revealed an endometrioma on the anterior wall which had grown inward from the uterine wall. This is the first report of genital endometriosis with bladder involvement reported of genital endometriosis with bladder involvement reported in Brazil. J. P. GBSENHILL.
