Excerpt from Transactions of the New York Institute of Stomatology: For 1896 A meeting of the Institute was hold at the Polyclinic College and Hospital, 216 Bast Thirty-fourth Street, Tuesday evening, February 4, 1896, at eight o'clock. The vice-president, Dr. C. D. Cook, presided, and introduced Dr. R. H. M. Dawbarn, professor of Surgery in the Polyclinic College and Hospital, who gave a clinical lecture and surgical demonstrations, as follows: Dr. Dawbarn. - I notice that the cards of invitation announce a large number of cadaveric demonstrations, and in order not to disappoint you I have also brought some living subjects. This young man, twenty-seven years of age, developed a sarcoma of the nasal pharynx. Its attachment was partly from the middle turbinated bone and partly from the pharynx at the base of the skull It was so extremely vascular - bleeding freely on the slightest touch - that another Burgeon who was asked to operate on it declined to do so because he thought the patient might die under the operation. Before he came to my hands Dr. Lederman bad made thirteen injections of antitoxine, prepared from the streptococcus of erysipelas and the bacillus prodigiosus. By the time he reached the thirteenth injection he declined to go on, thinking there would he a funeral; and, indeed, they had wofully napped his patient's strength.
