In October I made twenty-three visits and examined and prescribed for twenty-seven patients each visit. During October I performed the operation of dilatation of the urethra and partial destruction of the prostate gland. There was complete retention of urine and it was almost impossible to introduce any kind of catheter; but since the operation there has been no trouble; the patient is apparently well. Two deaths occurred in October. J. R. McCoy, aged seventy-two years, died of pneumonia; Isaac H. Rhoads, aged eighty-seven, a chronic paralytic, died of general paralysis.
