2999-3000. Casts of a large tumor that was regarded as a fungoid disease of the right upper maxillary bone. Case reported by Dr. W. in his work on Tumors, with three figures (p. 484). The patient, a little girl twelve years old, entered the hospital many years ago for an operation, and Dr. W. favored it, though in consultation it was de- cided to leave her to her fate. The second cast shows a great and rapid increase of the disease. 1847.

The patient was a negress, set. fifty-nine years, and the disease was of twenty years' duration. No pain at first.

The side of the face was slightly paralyzed after the operation ; but the woman is now (Aug., 1868) in good health, and there is no evidence of any return of the disease. 1866. Dr. W. G. Wheeler, of Chelsea.

In Oct. she came under the care of Dr. S., with pain on the left side, cough, some dyspnoea, an inability to lie upon the right side, and with physical signs of effusion into the left side of the chest.
