Usually the wound resulting from electrolysis heals quickly without any localtreatment whatever, and often the patient can attend to business immediately after theoperation.\ In nearly all cases I pass a sound the third day after the operation, alsothe day after.

On the contrary, by means of electrolysis, which

Hard strictures are in the proportion of one against five soft ones.The time required to perform the operation varies with the density of the stricture.Some strictures are so hard that they cannot be successfully operated upon by electrol-ysis. 2l3 If my American colleagues who are familiar with the French language are willingto refer to one of my books entitled Traitement des retrecissements par Velectrolyselineaire (this book can be procured at the libra/y of the Academy of Medicine), theymay find it quite interesting, as it will enable them to understand the
