I have underobservation at the present time a patient with an opening due to CROOKED AXD OTHERWISE DEFORMED XOSES. 715 syphilitic ulceration, who has not yet agreed to an operation, butwho will possibly do so in time. I have drawn here a number of badly-shaped noses, whichcan be remedied by operation. We may have a nose thatsinks in at the top, in which there is not much bridge. This isgenerally due to want of proper development of the bones andcartilages forming the septum, and is sometimes called the sad-dle-back nose (Fig. 1, a).

A lady came into my office a short time ago withsuch an elevation on the middle of the nose, due to a bony massresulting from a fracture in infancy. There is also some stop-ping-u
