The rarity of osteomalacia diseases in Russia and the opportunity to clarify the question of the effect of castration and surgery on Porro on the cure of osteomalacies only through extensive observations prompts me to publish the cases that I operated on on June 3, 1891 in the hospital of br. Bakhrushins, although he does not contain any data for explaining the mysterious influence of castration on osteomalacia.

Occurs infrequently, according to L. Mayer's statistics on 35-40 cancerous lesions of the uterus, 1 malignant neoplasm of the outer parts of the female genital apparatus. Cancroid comes across more often; Mayer had a cancroid out of 9 cases - 6 times. The place of development and often serves as a large lip, at the bottom of the border, where the skin becomes mucous. Rokitanski once found the origin of the clitoris.

In my opinion, the indication for the excision of the uterus is the same as for the removal of the appendages by means of celiac disease. It is not the fact of suppuration that compels us to resort to a certain intervention, but the mutuality and the therapeutic incurability of circumambular suffering, and thus the objection falls by itself. I do not at all insist that indications for the excision of the uterus, set in this sense, cannot leave room for error, and I readily admit that preference should be given to gastrointestinal surgery every time the diagnosis seems doubtful. But I do not reject my conclusion and repeat it: if the excision of the uterus is left at least for those cases in which the bilateral suffering seems, on the basis of clinical data, as reliable as its therapeutic incurability, then I assert, that intervention through natural means retains all the advantages of a rational and fully justified operation.

Labadie-Lagrave and Basset (Paris). Postpartum septicemia has changed completely since the introduction of the antiseptic method. The epidemics disappeared; rapid and formidable cases have become rare and always isolated.
