The other is subjected to the veterinarian's knife and ecraseur and deprived of the testes,—the male sexual glands.

By the Écraseur.—Nunneley of Leeds has recorded cases in which he made a small incision through the skin, and mylohyoid and geniohyoid muscles, and through this passed a curved needle bearing the chain of the é����������ܰ� completely round the base of the tongue.

The steel wire of an é����������ܰ� is then passed round its root as low down as possible, slowly tightened, and the tongue thus divided through its whole thickness in a very few minutes.

Various plans have been tried, as cutting the attachment through slowly by the é����������ܰ�, ligature of each vessel separately, so many as twelve being sometimes required, and cauterising the stump.

When this can not be done, attempts may be made to remove the mass with the é����������ܰ� or otherwise, following it up with antiseptic injections, as advised under the last heading.
