Thus it will be seen that if man has passions which impel him to the destruction of man, if be be the only animal who, despising his natural means of attack and defence, has devised new means of destruction, he is also the only animal who has the desire, or the power, to relieve the sufferings of his fellow citizens, and in whom the co-existence of reason and benevolence attests a moral as well as an intellectual superiority.-GRAVES' CLINICAL MEDICINE. VOL. IV. INDIANAPOLIS, JANUARY, 1869. No. I. *A CASE OF POPLITEAL ANEURISM RAPIDLY CURED BY MANIPULATION, FLEXION AND DIGITAL COMPRES SION. BY GEO. C. BLACKMAN, M. D., Professor of Surgery in the Medical College of Ohio; Surgeon to the Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio, etc. We have recently treated a case of popliteal aneurism according to the above methods, which possesses at the present time, many points of interest, especially in connection with the cases lately reported by Dr. Mapother, of Dublin, Dr. Murray, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, and Sir Henry Thompson, of London. Before giving the details of our own case, we will present an abstract of Dr. Mapother's, as published in the British Medical Journal, October 5, 1867, and re-published in Braithwaite's Retrospect, part 56, page 157. The same journals also contain the particulars of Dr. Murray's views and treatment. Dr. Mapother's first case was one of ilio-femoral aneurism. "Digital and partial instrumental pressure having failed, I tried to stop the common iliac with an elastic compressor, the patient being kept under chloroform for twelve hours. No clot formed. An anthracoid slough formed at the point of pressure. Five days afterward, another attempt ***The term given to this paper means a particular manipulation of an aneurism, whereby the fibrin within may possibly be so displaced as either in part or in whole to block up the main artery on the distal side of the disease."-Commencement of Mr. Fergusson's paper, 1857. |
