Robert Harris (Philadelphia). The Mortality under the Cesareon operation in great Britain during the lest eigth jears; and the encouragement offered for the induction of symphysio tomy as a substitute for craniotomy. (Lancet, 19 and 26 May 1894, p. 1272 1319). Caesar section deaths in Great Britain in the last 8 years; encouraged to replace the operation of perforation of the skull with a symphysiotomy.

Dr. H. distinguishes the results of the Caesar section before 1886, when the antiseptic was, in his opinion, insufficiently strict, from the subsequent period, during which the antiseptic was carried out universally and more strictly.
