Out of 40 cases of ligature of the subclavian artery which he has tabulated, 18 proved fatal, or nearly 5 in every 10 died. "In his work on Hernia, Sir A. Cooper records 36 deaths among 77 operations for that disease, or nearly 5 in every 10 died. Dr. Inman has collated 545 cases of operation for hernia; 260 proved fatal, or nearly 5 in every 10 of the patients died. "In the earlier years of life lithotomy is comparatively a safe and legitimate operation, and few die. But it is quite different when the operation is submitted to at 40 years of age, and upwards. At and above this term of life, Dr. Willis has shown, from numerous statistical returns, that from 2 to 5 out of every 10 operated upon die. "Even what we deem slighter operations, are sometimes attended by no inconsiderable danger to life. Out of 95 cases of excision of the mamma, referred to in Dr. Cormack's Journal for February 1843, --20 died, or 2 in every 10. In how many cases of the remaining 75 would the disease inevitably return and ultimately destroy the patient? "Ovariotomy then is fatal in the proportion of about 35 or 40 in every 100 operated upon, but in most capital operations we singly have as high or even a higher mortality than 35 or 40 per cent. Amputation of the thigh is higher. So is amputation of the arm. Ligature of the subclavian, for aneurism, is higher. Tying the innominata is fatal in every case. The operation for hernia has a higher mortality. Lithotomy is as fatal in most hands after the middle term of life. Even amputation of the leg below the knee is scarcely more safe, or at all events as many, or more, die after amputation of the leg, in the hospital practice of Paris and...
