A Method of Intubating the Oesophagus for Malignant Stricture

TMZDNcICAOX _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LMDCLJui iritis is always preceded or accompanied by articular pains.I am cQnvinced that this is not correct; there is little reason why it should be when we consider that only about, 2 per cent. of all cases of gonorrhoea develop this complication.Tuberculous iritis can usually be diagnosed from gonor- rhoeal without difficulty by its occurrence in younger ssubjects, the presence of tubercles onl the iris, the very con- ,iderable damage done to the eye, the absence of true recurrences, and the diagniostic tuberculin tests.The so-called septic iritis due to an endogenous septic infection mnay closely simulate the gonorrhoeal variety.Recurrences are frequent and the condition of the iris may give no clue as to the cause.The damage to the eye is 'greater than in the gonorrhoeal variety and rheumatism may occur.It must iiot be forgotten that thorough investi- gation is necessary in these cases, and that the gonococcus may be at the root of the matter.
