he steel shankis so constructed that the steel extends along the back of the handle, on the sideopposite to the point or hook. When the latter is buried in the tissues, thedirection in which it points will always be indicated by the metal back, as inthe case of Simpsons sound, so that the hook can be disengaged immediately. 576 SHARP & SMITH, CHICAGO. 3244 ^32453246 *3247^3248 3249^3250 *325i 3252 3253 3254 *3255 ^3256 *3257 3258 3259^3260 *326i^3262=1=3263=^3264^3265 GYNECOLOGICAL—DEPRESSORS.

SO oO 3255 SHARP & SMITH, CHICAGO. 577 GYNAECOLOGICAL, The accompanying cut represents an instrument de-vised by Chiarles D. Scudder, M. D., New York, to help inmaking knots, wlien suturing or ligaturing in cavities. The instrument consists of a two-pronged steel shaftwith a baked rubber handle. Each prong has an eyenear its end, and the distance betweenthe eyes is three-eighths of an inch.The form of the prongs has beenchanged since the drawing was made,and the fork is now lyre-shaped. Itcan be made curved to any degreedesired. The holes are carefully bevel-ed, and three sizes—nine-inch, six-inch,and four-inch length are made. In ligaturing, the first knot is carriedover the haemostatic forceps, and theends of the ligature (which should be ofgood length) are passed through theholes in the fork, as shown in the sketch.The knot is carried down and placed bythe knot-tier wherever wished, and suit-able traction is made by pulling on theends of the ligature, which are wrappedaround
