and myself had had the advantage of Dr. Barnes’s expe-rience, Neither in hospital nor in private practice should Isubmit to the inference that a physician is incapable of thediagnosis or treatment of an abdominal tumour; or must, if herecognise it as ovarian, at once transfer the whole case, andrefer its treatment, exclusively to a surgeon.

’

It is the more important to notice the above error froman inaccuracy in the medical part of the report. I not onlyhad to propose the operation, and after consultation at least toshare the responsibility of its propriety, but to remain exclu-sively responsible for one of the most important aspects of thecase. The report, while laying undue stress on a casual andunimportant diarrhoea, ignores the fact that grave suspicionsof pulmonary disease only permitted the operation after longtreatment and careful deliberation on my part.

Lastly, it is due to those who have introduced this remark-able procedure to point out that, within forty-eight hours ofthe operation, the cough disappeared, the patient’s cheeksbegan to redden with the glow of health, and her pulse be-came slower and stronger ; and that, from a frail, emaciated,cachectic- (not to say tabid) looking object, she was trans-formed, before leaving the hospital, into a ruddy, plump, good-looking girl.—I am, Sir. vour verv obedient servant.

THE MYOSITIC ACTION OF THE CALABARBEAN.

To the Editor of THE LANCET.SIR,—In reference to a letter from Dr. Thomas R. Fraser

that appeared in THE LANCET of the 6th inst., I desire to statethat I do not claim, and have never either directly or indirectlyclaimed, the credit of having discovered the property pos-sessed by the Calabar bean of contracting the pupil; on thecontrary, I have from the first acknowledged that that dis-covery was Dr. Fraser’s.What I have done is to examine carefully the whole actions

of the agent on the eye, and to point out its importance andsome of its practical applications.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.To the Editor of THE LANCET. ’

SIR,—I have just seen a report, in your journal of the 9thMay, of a meeting of the Pathological Society of London on the21st April, at which a discussion on Prof. Syme’s ankle-jointoperation took place. As my case was mentioned, and an arti-ficial limb made for me by Mr. Masters was exhibited, will youkindly allow me to make a few remarks upon the subject ?

I was operated upon by Prof. Syme so long ago as 1847. Fora full statement of my experience of the advantages of thatoperation I refer you to a letter I addressed to you, and whichappeared in THE LANCET of the 7th November, 1857.My object in writing to you now is more with reference to

what fell from Mr. Thompson and Mr. Holmes with regard tothe kind of artificial limb applicable to the operation. I think,with Mr. Thompson, that " it is very important for the surgeonand mechanician to act in concert in most amputations of thelower extremity;" but I do not agree with Mr. Holmes whenbe "douhts the value of an artificial limb with the ankle-jointmovement."

I do not exactly know what the " common circular shoe" is,but I used, up to last September, a leather case extending tothe knee, with a boot buckled to the side and the front stuffed.I always felt at a loss in going up a stair, having no power overthe joint whatever. The whole limb felt a dead weight, andthe heel came down with a thump. I called on Prof. Symelast September, and asked him if there was anything new atthe Exhibition applicable to his operation, and which mightobviate the objections just mentioned. He at once namedMr. Masters, of New Kent road, as having exhibited somefirst-class apparatus, gave me his address, and recommendedme to call on him. 1 accordingly did so, and, seeing at oncethe immense advantage of his apparatus over mine, I orderedone. I have now worn it for some months, and find myself ina new world with it. It has altered my gait entirely, andgiven me a propelling power which is truly astonishing, andwhich was totally wanting in the old one. It is almost impos-sible to detect anything the matter with me, I now walk so

naturally; besides, I can use the toes in going up a stair almost-,as readily as with the sound foot. I can also now take off my-boots and put on slippers, which is of great importance to a.sensitive person when travelling, or from home,

After a fair trial of Mr. Masters’ apparatus, I assure Mr.Holmes, as one who has worn a " circular boot" for sixteen,years, that the artificial limb, with the ankle-joint movement,is as superior to the " circular" as a natural is to an artificiallimb. The superiority of Mr. Masters’ apparatus as regards.mere appearance is, also, of great importance to professionalpersons like myself. I am by means of it enabled to moveabout actively from nine A.M. to four P.M., and superintendthe studies of upwards of 500 pupils. I have shown it to Prof.Syme since getting it, and he seemed much pleased with it.

In conclusion, I most cordially and conscientiously recom-mend Mr. Masters’ apparatus to the notice of all who, like-myself, have undergone the ankle-joint operation.

I am. Sir. vour obedient servant.THOMAS W. E. ROBSON, LL.D.,
