As the result of a study of the cases collected, including his own, Dr. Weir recommends a plan of treatment like the following: the limb should be bandaged up to the tumor and above it, but not over it. The patient should stand erect before the upper bandage is put on. Tubing should be applied in the usual manner. The elastic compression may be kept on for two hours, followed by the application of a tourniquet for two hours. If pulsation is still apparent, the elastic and mechanical compression should be repeated until pulsation has ceased. After consolidation of the tumor is secured it is well to moderate current above the tumor for twelve or twenty-four hours by a bag containing seven or ten pounds of shot.—_Amer. Jour. Med.
