Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: March, 1879 Mr. Mayall said: The advance, then, that has been made in the utilization Of larger apertures amounts to this: That, whereas, with the dry lens on a balsamed object we are absolutely limited to an aperture less than eighty two degrees, measured in the body of the front lens. This limit is proved by the diagrams I have shown you Of the maximum angle that can be computed for a lens to have a front focus in air. It is also proved by a consider ation of the angle of the image rays, as they are radiated from the Object itself in balsam; for, although this angle of image rays, viewed as nascent from a self-luminous object capable of scattering rays in all directions, may be 180 degrees in the substance of the balsam and cover glass, of this 180 degrees only eighty-two degrees Of the central portion can emerge into air - all the rays beyond this limit are internally re ected at the cover-glass. This cone of eighty-two degrees becomes 180 degrees in air, and a large part must necessarily be lost by re exion at the first incidence on the plane front of the lens. But, with a formula permitting the use of water medium be tween the front lens and the cover-glass, the aperture of the image rays may reach 126 degrees - double the eriti cal angle from glass to water; and, with oil medium, the aperture is limited only by the form of front lens that can be constructed by the Optician, as demonstrated by Professor Stokes in his recent communication on the 'theoretical Limit Of Aperture, ' at'the Royal Microscopi cal Society.

Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: February, 1879 Ought this to be so? By no means. Our cardinal prin ciple in medicine should be to assist nature in recovery as fast as possible (for the term cure is inadmissible outside of surgery, if we seek to be literally correct); and, when this end can not be attained, we owe it to ourselves and our patients to mitigate suffering, or retard the progress of disease to the utmost extent within our power. Happily, there are some who act on this doctrine; and by their la bors we gain, from year to year, new knowledge of the sub ject, better appreciation of what needs to be done, and suggestions which are already yielding more satisfactory results in cephalalgic therapeusis.

Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: October, 1879 A multiplicity of forms of treatment for any disease, or class of diseases, proves one of two things: either that the affection, or class, is readily cured by almost any treatment, or, in other words, has an intrinsic tendency to spontaneous recovery; or, secondly, it is of such a nature that our pathology and therapeutics are alike at fault, the diseased action baf ing all our research and treatment, so that practitioners seize with avidity upon any new plan offering the slightest prospect of improvement on, and greater success than, the old and tried methods. Of the eruptive affections, both facts are true. Some are so mild as to demand no interference whatever; others, at times, manifest an uncontrollable malignancy. Such being the case, no apology is necessary for my venturing a few sug gestions on the subject. In all diseases, when cure is impossible, mitigation may be attainable, or pain, at least, may be more or less com pletely allayed. If this be so, we are justified in attempt ing to better the condition of our patient; and more, it is imperatively our duty to do so. Again, where there is no special tendency to death, if we hold it in our power, either to abridge a disease, or lessen the agony of one which can not be cut short, it is only right for us to ao complish this. And I hold that the plan of procedure, herein advocated, will at least do so much, if, indeed, it does not save life, as I am personally convinced that it does.

Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 12: May, 1879; Vol. VIII, New Series Disregarding the position of the head. At present, it is generally advised that this should be the plan adopted in all cases of forceps delivery, whether the head be high or low. Drs. Barnes and Harris strongly contend, let us do what we will, and attempt as we may to pass the blades in rotation to the child's head, they find their way to the sides of the pelvis, and the marks of the fenestra on the head always show that it has been grasped by the brow and sides of the occiput; hence, it is considered to be an unnecessary complexity and embarrassmant to endeavor to vary the position of the blades in each case - a need less procedure which renders more difficult an operation that should be simplified as much as possible. The pre cise position of the head should be determined - not that it is required specially in the introduction of the blades, but that we may fully understand its progress. Rotation of the head within the blades will take place as it descends if a proper instrument is used - one which will not reduce the cranial diameters by actual compres sion. Such an instrument is found in the pattern of Simp son. His forceps are three and one-half inches at the widest part between the blades after being closed, and one inch and an eighth at their extremities. At present, we have two varieties of forceps in general use. Simp son's represents one type, which is designed to act as a tractor, and is applied to the sides Of the pelvis in all cases. Hodge's forceps is one of the most extreme of the other class. It is a powerful compressor, consequently is adjusted to the biparietal diameter of the head.
