Excerpt from The Medical Times and Gazette, Vol. 35: A Journal of Medical Science, Literature, Criticism, and News; For 1867 Under the care of Mr. Solly is a curious case of neuralgia of the knee-joint in a woman aged 34, married, and having four children, the youngest of whom is 5 years old. Four years ago she fell and struck her knee with violence against a stone, and since that time she has been unable to stand upon it. The symptoms she has been complaining of are constant pain under the patella, not periodic, but gnawing and always present, gradually increasing. And utterly prostrating her. On admission there was no deformity visible, and no absolute evidence of pain could be elicited on manipulating the knee in any manner. It certainly was rigidly contracted, but this was all owing to spasm of the muscle, and could be readily overcome by gradual traction and diverting the mind of the patient. There was no history of joint inflammation neither, on the other hand, was there any decided evidence, but rather the contrary, of a naturally hysterical constitution. The result of treatment was indicative of the absence of inflammatory disease, for the efl'ect of a course of active antiphlogistics with counter-irritants while under Mr. Syme, in Edinburgh, was to aggravate the pain and reduce the patient, from being a stout hearty woman, to her present emaciated state. Undera course of quinine with nourishing diet she has improved slowly, and is still progressing. We may introduce to notice a few cases of intractable forms of stricture under the care of Mr. Le Gros Clark, in which he has made use successfully of the potassa fusa, instead of the mechanical dilator. His instrument consists of a slightly curved sound, on to the end of which can be screwed the hollow tip containing the caustic. This tip is shaped like an elongated and perforated Minie bullet. The perforation small and central, so that the caustic can act only upon the spot which is pressed firmly against by the point of the instrument. By this means the action of the potassa is limited, and healthy tissues are not liable to be injured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
