sterilized cotton. Recently, Dr. Edward A.Avers has reported four casesof symphysiotomy in whichthe subcutaneous method wasemployed. The mothers all recovered. In one instance twins were delivered; both survive*). Inanother instance a child weighing seven pounds was born, and is stillliving. Two of the children were born dead. Dr. Ayerss operation consists in raising the clitoris and passing be-neath a narrow sharp-pointed scalpel through the mucous membranefrom below upward in the line of the symphysis, to within a half inchof the upper pubic border.
