Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Fourteenth report, Chinese Repository, vol. 17, 1848, p.143-144: No 25870, October 4th, 1847, I selected for its first trial a Chinese, a robust farmer, forty-nine years old of the district of Heo Shan, who had a steatomatous tumor, situated in the right axilla, but distinct from the glands and nearly the size of his head. He was placed upon the operation table, in a sitting posture, ready to be laid down. He was then directed to inhale deliberately with full inspirations the Ether from Dr. Jackson’s apparatus. I had hold of the right arm with one hand and the other behind him, ready to lay him gently down. In forty-three seconds the muscles of his arm suddenly relaxed and he ceased simultaneously to inhale the ether and in a state of insensibility he was laid back upon the table his head being still elevated. His pulse was quickened, and the eyes assumed a dull and vacant appearance. The tumor was then extirpated by Kwan-Taou, my Senior Pupil, and three arteries tied in four minutes. There was not the slightest apparent consciousness during this part of the operation. As there was considerable oozing of blood, cold water was applied and the wound exposed to the atmosphere for ten or eight minutes, before proceeding to apply sutures. By this time the effects of the ether upon the system had begun to subside, and the patient gave signs of sensibility to the prick of the needle (...), and after the wound was dressed and the patient placed in bed, he complained of the tightness of sutures, but had no recollection of the incisions during the operation., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Ninth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton for the quarterly term ending in December 31st, 1838. Chinese Repository, Band 7. 1838-1839, p. 584: No. 5985. Horn upon the crown of the head. Chow Keatseuen, aged 31, a florist of Shuntih, had a horn upon his head, just to the right of the “bump of the veneration”. The patient stated, that some years since he had an encysted tumor upon his head, the integument of which was destroyed by escharotics and the fluid escaped. The germ of the horn was thus exposed. Its growth had been gradual. Sometime previous to coming to the hospital half an inch or more had been cut off. At this time the remaining truncated cone was a full inch high and two inches in circumference, at the base. It was of a yellow white color, and of the usual hardness of horn. It was attached wholly to the integument of the scalp, and gave great pain if pulled. Dec. 19th it was removed. Two elliptical incisions were made so as to take out the whole of the integument in which it originated. This was preternaturally soft, and the veins and arteries were unusually large and numerous. The wound was brought completely together by sutures and adhesive straps, and it about one week it was quite well., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
