    241, Whitecliapel Eoad. Laryngeal ecraseurs and instruments for the removal of polypi and growths from the larynx, of which my own (figs. 34 and 35) are represented at pages Jig. no. 138 andl39. Theecraseur of Dr. Moura-Bourouillou, (fig. 116), is on the same principle as my own, but the growth is pierced by an arrow at the moment of excision, which ensures its immediate withdrawal. It is described in his pamphlet on ' Polypi of the Larynx/ published a few weeks ago. Curved bougies, for di- lating the larynx in oedema, after or without sacrifica- tions, are most essential to have. Bistouries, straight for- ceps, and long curved scis- sors, for excision of the tonsils and uvula. Also Bellocq's canula, and small trocars; oesophagus bou- gies, and tracheal instru- ments, particularly Langen- beck'^s hook. Tongue depressors, small sponges, linen napkins, a looking-glass on the man- tel-piece for ladies, small basins, and various glasses, are necessary requisites.
