Sixteenth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital for the Year 1850 and 1851, printed at the office of the Chinese Repository, p. 21: No. 36039. June 7th, 1850. Glandular tumor, one foot in circumference. Kwo Shí, aged 41, of the district of Pwányü, had a glandular tumor under the left ear, a foot in circumference. The ulceration of the surface was so extensive as not to leave healthy integument sufficient to cover the base. Under the influence of chloroform, this tumor was dissected out, and the edges of the wound approximated as near as practicable, leaving a space of an inch in width in the center, gradually tapering to a point upwards and downwards, to heal by granulation, which was accomplished in about six weeks. A year after her discharge, she presented herself at the hospital in excellent health, when it was satisfactory to find that the cure had been effectual and permanent.
