THE CHICAGO MEDICAL RECORDER JULY, 1895. Original Articles. CONSERVATIVE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PARAAND PERI-UTERINE SEPTIC DISEASES. BY FERNAND HENROTIN, M. D. PROFESSOR OF GYNECOLOGY, CHICAGO POLICLINIC; SURGEON OF THE ALEXIAN BROTHERS HOSPITAL CONSULTING GYNECOLOGIST, ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL; MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN GYNECOLOGICAL SOCIETY, ETC. The American Gynecological Society is composed of experts who convene at regular intervals to discuss in a broad, dignified and liberal spirit, various vital and important questions pertaining to the development of that branch of medicine in which they are especially interested. In most gynecological societies the mere mention of the word "conservative" brings protests from all the ten minute laparotomists, suggestions of radical work being just as certain to stimulate the most energetic expressions from general surgeons concerning the extreme views of the specialists. Without taking into consideration the dissenting views of the timid general practitioner of limited judgment, the exclamations of the two above described gentlemen are becoming very fatiguing. The man of sense and conscience "who comes to town to stay" will be found all along the line as circumstances demand and as reason dictates.
