cystoid degeneration of a fewglands at the base of the tongue, probably due to a plugging of the open-ing of their ducts and a consequent inflammation of the glands themselves.It therefore seems best to call all the cystoid formations under the tongueranula. It is always advisable to operate on these cysts; cut down on thecysts with a lancet and make a good-sized opening, and by mean-s of a pairof curved scissors remove a portion of the upper part of the wall andcauterize the inner w\alls of the cysts with the thermo-cautery or stick ofcaustic silver. If Whartons duct is involved, be guarded in the cauteriza-tion, confining it only to the anterior part of the cyst toward the pointof the tongue. The injection of pilocarpine, which has been used withsuccess in man according to Soffintinis method, has been tried in ani-mals by Hoffmann. It consists in creating a great amount of the salivarysecretion, and the force of the collected fluid from the inside breaks theobstruction of the duct.

The latter requires special mention as
