m BY THE EDITOR. No. XIV. THE CRANIUM AND FACE. α THE Sphenoid Bone, (5, fig. xxv. e e, fig. xxvi.) so called, from its situation in the base of the skull, where it wedges in and locks together most of the other bones, is connected to fourteen distinct bones. It is placed between the occipital and ethmoid bones, and stretches on each side to the temples. In form it has a general resemblance to a bat with extended wings, and is divided into a middle part, or body, and into the greater processes, three on each side; namely, the little wings, or wings of Ingrassius, the hgreat wings, and the pterygoid processes. The perfect knowledge of this bone is a study of itself: it is the bugbear of students, in consequence of its numerous processes, foramina, and connexions. We well remember our first introduction to the late Mr. Anthony White, the then President of the Royal College of Surgeons, who advised us always to carry a bone in our pockets, to study and think of on any leisure occasion. This bone was our companion for several months. Although this bone lies chiefly in the base of the cranium, and is almost beyond the reach of external violence, still it has many important relations which demand attention; for example, to the brain, to the carotid arteries, to the cavernous sinuses, to the nostrils and orbit of the eye.

The ethmoid bone (ff, fig. xxvi.) derives its name from the upper surface resembling a sieve, being full of small holes; it is of a cubical form, and consists principally of numerous cells: consequently, it is peculiarly light and spongy. It occupies the anterior part of the floor of the cranium between the orbits, from which it descends into the nostrils and walls of the orbit. Its upper surface is a horizontal plate, termed the cribriform plate, perforated by numerous little holes to transmit the twigs of the olfactory nerves, or nerves of smelling, to the nostrils. In the middle is a sharp process, named the ethmoid crest, or crista galli, from a supposed resemblance to a cock's comb. From the lower part descends the nasal plate, making part of the central division of the nose; and the flat, or orbitar plates, which form the principal portions of the inside of the orbits. On either side of the central division of the nostrils are the P [PRICE ONE PENNY. turbinated plates or bones (h h, fig. xxvi.), which are there pendulous and convex; and on the back part are numerous cells, consisting of many convoluted plates of bone, called labyrinths. The nerves of smelling, after passing through the holes in the cribriform plate, are expanded on the nasal septum, and throughout the whole extent of the cells formed by the turbinate bones. Thus a very considerable surface is provided for the distribution of these nerves, and at the same time a very small space is occupied. The ethmoid bone is joined by the edge of its cribriform plate to the ethmoidal notch of the frontal bone, and to the sphenoid bone; and by the back part of its nasal plate to the latter bone, and to the vomer; it also joins the lachrymal bones and the upper jaw. There are no muscles attached to or covering this bone. THE BONES OF THE FACE are in pairs, except two bones, one of which, the vomer, forms part of the partition of the nose; the other is the lower jaw. They are fourteen in number, thirteen of which belong to the upper immovable part, usually called the upper jaw; some meet and unite in the central or mesial line; others are placed at a greater or less distance from this line. The union of the bones of the face has been said to take place by sutures, which are named according to their connexion with each: but in fact they are united rather by simple irregular lines than by sutures. The nasal bones (8, fig. xxv. g, fig. xxvi.) form the bridge of the nose: they are convex externally, thereby giving greater resistance to violence from without; and they are concave internally for enlarging the cavity of the nose; at their middle part each presents a small hole which passes through the bone, and transmits a vein to the lining or pituitary membrane. The upper margin of this bone is joined to the spine of the frontal bone and to the nasal plate of the ethmoid bone; its external edge joins the upper jaw, and its inner edge is united to its fellow-bone at the centre of the bridge of the nose; its lower edge is joined only by the alar cartilages, or gristle of the nose. The lachrymal bone (9, fig. xxv.) is nearly the size, shape, and indeed thickness of the finger mail, therefore it is also called the os unguis, or nail-like bone; it is called lachrymal because the anterior concave portion supports the lachrymal duct, which conveys the tears from the inner corner of the eye into the nose. The orbitar plate of this bone assists in forming the orbit of the eye. DISTORTION OF THE SPINE. BY SIR B. C. BRODIE, BART., F.R.S.

It exhibits three surfaces, a facial, namely, that which is readily recognized as In a person of what is called a good figure, when the feet the cheek-bone; an orbitary surface, which is concave, and rest on the ground with the heels in contact, the lower limbs assists to form the floor of the orbit; and a zygomatic surface being straight, and the upper limbs occupying the same position (c, fig. xxv.), where it joins the temporal bone, and with it on the sides, the spine rises perpendicularly in the same line forms the zygomatic arch.

That portion of the upper deformity. jaw which secures the teeth is greatly increased in density and strength. Each bone usually has eight cavities, the alveolar cavities, for the reception of the teeth. The palatine bones (k, fig. xxvi.). Each palate bone is placed at the lower and back part of the upper jaw-bone, and below the middle of the base of the skull. They form the posterior part of the palate, from which they ascend along the outer walls of the nostril to the orbit. The attachments of this bone are many and complicated: it is joined to its fellow-bone by the palatine process; to the vomer, to the upper jaw-bone, to the turbinate bones, to the sphenoid bone, and to the ethmoid bone. From whatever cause the spine becomes affected with a lateral curvature, it cannot but happen that the effects of it should extend to other parts of the trunk. The ribs corresponding to the convex side of the curvature are at their anterior extremities separated from each other by a wider interval than is natural, while on the opposite side they are, as it were, squeezed together, and compressed into a smaller compass. The os ilium of one side appears to be more prominent than that of the other; and there is a corresponding change in the appearance of the scapula, and clavicles, and even of the sternum. No part of the body can be permanently displaced without The vomer (1, fig. xxvi.) is thus named from its resemblance dislocation of the humerus, the old glenoid cavity is absorbed, undergoing an alteration in its figure.

Those of our readers who have followed us in the papers on ANATOMY, especially the one describing the "SKELETON," in No. 53, and that describing the "PELVIS," in No. 54, will have little difficulty in comprehending the technical names and exact situation of the bones, &c., mentioned by Sir Benjamin Brodie in the above admirable lecture, which is abridged from the Medical Gazette. readily, because when lateral curvature exists, it almost invariably | Then, all at once, the muscles of some part of the body lose their begins to shew itself in early life, while the process of growth is going on. These facts should be borne in mind with a reference to practice. As deviations from the natural figure occur with more facility during the period of growth, so is the restoration of the natural figure more easily obtained during the same period also. The treatment of the disease cannot be begun too soon after the first signs of spinal curvature are perceptible, and little or no benefit can arise from the continuance of the treatment after the period of growth is completed. A difference in the length of the two limbs is in some instances the result of original formation. I have had young persons brought to me because one shoulder was observed to be higher than the other (this being usually the first thing observed in the commencement of a lateral curvature of a spine), and in whom I have found the femur and tibia on one side respectively shorter than the femur and tibia of the other, although there neither were at the time, nor had been previously, any indications of disease in either limb. At other times, however, the difference in the length of the femur or tibia is clearly to be traced to disease. A diseased bone may grow less rapidly than the corresponding bone which remains in a healthy state. Thus, in a case of scrofulous affection of the bones of one finger, it is very common for the finger thus affected not to grow at all, while the other fingers grow as usual. The reverse of this also may happen, and the diseased bone in certain cases becomes actually longer than its fellow of the opposite side. Now, in such cases it must be evident that the only thing to be done is to endeavour to equalise the length of the limbs by making the sole of one shoe thicker than that of the other. Nothing done to the spine itself can be of the smallest service. Indeed, for the most part, in these cases, the curvature of the spine is trifling. The addition of a very little cork to the sole of one shoe will be sufficient to prevent its being observed at all; and a clever shoemaker will easily manage so that the difference of the two shoes will be imperceptible also. În a young person who has recovered from disease of the hipjoint after the formation of abscess (and in some cases even where suppuration has not taken place), the limb on the side of the disease is left considerably shortened. The shortening of the limb is sometimes the consequence of actual dislocation; at other times it arises from the margin of the acetabulum having been destroyed by ulceration, or from a partial destruction of the head of the femur, the limb being afterwards drawn upward by the action of the glutei muscles. In whatever way the shortening of the limb is produced, it necessarily happens that as soon as the patient begins to walk the spine becomes distorted. There is, however, in many of these cases, another cause operating so as to produce the same result. The patient has been lying for a long time in bed without any particular attention being paid to the position in which he has placed himself, and this position has probably been that of lying on one side with the spine twisted laterally. The lateral curvature thus produced of course continues to exist when the patient first begins to stand and walk. Now, of these two kinds of curvature, the first is evidently irremediable; but the latter admits of considerable, and perhaps of complete, relief, under a simple mode of treatment, which I shall explain to you hereafter. There is a peculiar paralytic affection to which children are liable, and which I have in my lectures been accustomed to describe under the name of infantile paralysis. The child (generally after suffering from an attack of fever) exhibits symptoms of what is commonly called "determination of blood to the brain," and not improbably has an attack of convulsions. power of acting under the influence of the will. In a few cases, recourse being immediately had to the exhibition of mercury, the paralysis is relieved. In the majority of cases it is not relieved at all, but remains unaltered the rest of the patient's life. Now, if this has happened in one of the lower limbs, you need only refer to the observations which I made at the beginning of the lecture, to be satisfied that a lateral curvature of the spine must be the consequence. One lower limb will support the weight of the body, the other will not support it; one limb is heavier than the other, and one limb only is exercised. The pelvis, under these circumstances, must become depressed on one side more than on the other, and a lateral inclination of the spine will follow depression of the pelvis. In some instances all the muscles of the leg and thigh are paralytic, and the whole of the lower limb is useless to the patient. In other cases, perhaps not more than one or two muscles are thus affected, and the curvature of the spine varies accordingly. In a very few of such cases, where the paralysis is of limited extent, the application of an instrument which in some degree supplies the place of the muscles whose power is deficient, may be useful in assisting the patient to retain the erect posture. In other cases, where, in consequence of the want of power in the antagonist muscles, those of the calf of the leg are contracted, the heel being elevated so that it cannot be brought into contact with the ground, some good may be done by the subcutaneous division of the tendon Achillis. But the advantage obtained in either of these ways is of limited extent, and, beyond what I have just mentioned, nothing is to be expected from the exercise of our art. The effect of paralysis on the figure of the spine is not confined to those cases in which the seat of the paralysis is in the lower limbs. Even a partial loss of power in the muscles of one of the upper limbs will, in a growing person, become a cause of spinal curvature, and in one case which fell under my observation, in which there had been, from infancy, a complete paralysis of all the muscles of the arm, forearm, and hand, the spine was as much distorted as it would have been in a case of recovery from diseased hip-joint, with a very contracted limb. The dis.. tortion here is to be attributed to the difference in the weight of the two limbs, and the greater muscular action on the side opposite to that of the disease, combining to draw the centre of gravity out of the middle line of the body. Of course, the case is beyond the reach of remedies. Nothing can restore the spine to its proper condition but the removal of the paralysis, a thing rarely to be accomplished, even when you are consulted in the first instance, and of which there certainly can be no reasonable expectation at that later period, when the attention of the parents is first called to the alteration of the patient's figure. It was the prevailing opinion formerly, and I believe that some hold the opinion still, that the common cause of a lateral curvature of the spine is a rickety condition of the bones. This view of the pathology of the disease is, however, not confirmed by the specimens preserved in museums of morbid anatomy, and no one who has seen much of these cases in the living person can doubt that the fact is otherwise. The altered shape of rickety bones, in which there is, as you well know, a deficiency of hard earthy matter (phosphate of lime), depends partly on the action of the muscles, but still more on the operation of the superincumbent weight. The greater the weight the greater is the distortion. Hence in a rickety child the disease is manifested first in the legs, then in the thighs, then in the pelvis, and afterwards in the spine. Now, in cases of lateral curvature of the spine, it rarely happens that there is anything like the rickety flexure of the lower limbs. In the rickety pelvis the two ossa pubes are as it were squeezed towards each other both behind and below the symphysis. The form of the brim of the pelvis is altered, the diameter of it being diminished in the direction from before backwards, and increased from side to side. One result of such distortion of the pelvis is, that parturition, at the full period of utero-gestation, is rendered either difficult or impossible. Nevertheless we meet with instances without number of women with very considerable lateral curvature of the spine who have borne children with as little inconvenience as others whose spines are straight. We are not, therefore, justified in regarding rickets as the common, or even as a frequent cause of spinal curvature: nevertheless it is the cause of it in a few instances. The curvature in these cases is, for the most part, not merely lateral, but there is a bending of the lower part of the spine forward, so that the spinous processes project posteriorly in the form of a segment of a circle. This circumstance, and the condition of the legs and thighs, afford sufficient ground for our diagnosis. What is to be said as to the treatment of this variety of distorted spine may be comprised in a few words, and will be more conveniently introduced here than in any other place. I know of no reason why the treatment of the rickety affections of the spine should be different from that of the rickety affections of the legs and thighs. Of this last I see a great number of cases. In a large portion of them, heavy instruments of steel have been already applied, with a view to reduce the curvature. In others the same thing has been recommended either by instrumentmakers or surgeons, but the machinery has not yet been applied. Now what is the effect of this mode of treatment? The original curvature is probably removed, but in order that this object should be attained, the instrument must make pressure on at least two points, one in the limb above, and the other in the limb below, and at each of these points a curvature is produced which did not exist before, so that there is simply an exchange of one curvature for two others. Then the instruments are a great weight and encumbrance to the child. He cannot drag them about so as to take such an amount of exercise as is necessary for the maintenance of the general health. They harass and torment him; and as they are always liable to break, and be otherwise out of repair, they are an endless trouble and expense to the parents. There is only one form of the disease in which, according to my experience, the use of instruments is at all justifiable, and that is one of very rare occurrence, in which the flexure is confined to the superior epiphysis of the tibia, the tibia below the epiphysis being bent outwards, making an angle more or less obtuse with the femur, so that the sole of the foot is with difficulty placed on the ground. With this single exception, I have never seen a single case of rickety curvature of the lower limbs, in which, if the health could be improved, and the general vigour of the system maintained, the curvature did not disappear spontaneously without any kind of local treatment being had recourse to; while, on the other hand, under a continuance of bad health, every kind of local treatment has been ineffectual. I generally recommend that the child should live in the country rather than in a crowded city; that he should be as much as possible at the sea-side; that he should take some preparation of iron from time to time, the bowels being at the same time carefully regulated; that he should use a shower-bath every morning, cold in summer, with the chill taken off in winter; and that he should live on a plain but nutritious diet. In the early part of my practice I advised that he should be encouraged to crawl on the floor rather than to use his feet, and that instead of running about out of doors he should be taken into the fresh air in an open carriage. I am now convinced that this advice was wrong; that the general health cannot be maintained without exercise; that the more the limbs are used the better chance is there of the necessary quantity of phosphate of lime being deposited in the bones; and that as the bones become harder so will they most certainly regain their proper figure, in spite of the weight which they have to sustain. Even in what might be termed a bad case of rickety affection of the limbs, three or four years, and in slighter cases a still shorter period, will generally be sufficient for this beneficial change to be brought about. From what I have already said, you may be aware that I have a more limited experience of rickety disease as it exists in the spine than as it exists in the extremities; but nevertheless I have seen enough of it to be satisfied that the plan of treatment which is the best adapted in the one case is also the best adapted to the other. SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF THE MATICO LEAF IN A CASE OF OBSTINATE HÆMORRHAGE. BY JOHN HAMILTON, ESQ. The subject of this case, a little boy between four and five years old, was brought to the author about a year and a half ago, in consequence of a bleeding from the tongue, which had continued for two days in spite of the application of lunar caustic and pressure, by the gentleman to whom the child had first been brought. It appeared that he had fallen down, and bit his tongue at the point, where a small and constant oozing of thin blood now took place from a little irregular opening. The child was quite blanched, and beginning to get weak, and its mother was in the greatest state of alarm, and not without reason, as his brother had bled to death from a slight injury to the nose, in spite of the best medical assistance; and this child had formerly nearly bled to death from some slight wound about the mouth. In such a soft, unresisting moveable organ as the tongue, subjected to constant heat, moisture, and suction, the arrest of hæmorrhage offered no small difficulties. The author first tried the actual cautery. This only caused a momentary stoppage. He then passed a small sewing needle with a double ligature behind the spot, and tied on each side of it. This was successful for a time, but in an hour or two the child was brought back, bleeding as fast as ever. The child was then persuaded to keep a piece of alum in its mouth, continually sucking it, and this, after an hour or two, effectually arrested the hæmorrhage. The child was a long time regaining his strength, or any approach to a natural colour. The child was, a second time, brought to the author, having again bit his tongue three days previously, since when a continual oozing of blood had gone on in spite of the application of the nitrate of silver, and of his sucking alum as he had former ly done with such success. He was, as on the former occasion, perfectly blanched, and the blood, which oozed out from a raised point at the tip of the tongue, was thin and watery. The author tried pressure with his fingers, with a small piece of fuzzy liat; but the blood soon soaked through the lint. He then took a small piece of the matico leaf, and applied the lower surface to the bleeding point, and kept it there as long as the child would keep the tongue quiet, which was not half a minute. He then found that the blood had ceased to flow, and that the small span gle of matico leaf adhered to the tongue. The nurse was desired to re-apply a piece of the same size whenever this fell off. On the next day the child was well. The first piece of matico had fallen off in less than half an hour; but there was then scarcely any appearance of bleeding: the nurse applied a second piece, and the hemorrhage was completely arrested.-Dublin Hospita Gazette.
