"In three, amputation was necessary, each instance being followed by recovery. "In one, death took place from erysipelas. "In two, death took place from coexisting disease of the heart."

When Dr. Bellingham first called attention to this interesting subject, he stated it as his opinion, that it would be unnecessary to employ such a degree of pressure as would cause inflammation and obliteration of the artery at the seat of the pressure; but that it would be sufficient merely to weaken the circulation through the artery and the sac, thereby favouring consolidation by the deposition of lamellated coagulum. In some cases treated successfully by this mode, opportunities have occurred of making post mortem examinations in consequence of the fatal results of other diseases; and it must have been gratifying to Dr. Bellingham to find, that in most of these instances, the main artery was pervious everywhere except at the aneurism.
