FOOTNOTES:
[27] The word 'adhesion' in the previous pages is employed solely as a term of convenience, to denote this imperfect separation, and does not imply any analogy to inflammatory processes.
[28] The writer first drew attention to the advantages of this method of treatment in the British Medical Journal, Nov. 15, 1874. Having instituted a tolerably extensive search through the medical literature of the preceding three or four decades, he is unable to find any account of a case in which the procedure failed to effect a permanent cure, unless there had existed previous disease.
[29] A fatal case, after circumcision for gonorrhœal inflammation, in a youth of 17, is reported in the Lancet, Feb. 25, 1882. Death took place on the eighth day apparently from septicæmic pneumonia.
