Never perform an Operation without examining the urine for sugar, no matter what its specific gravity may be. If glycosuria exists antiseptic pre cautions should be redoubled, but the condition does not contra-indicate necessary surgical interference.
Examine the urine for sugar in all cases Of carbuncle and in all cases Of eczema, especially in eczema Of the genitals.
Examine every swelling for pulsation. In the hurry Of out-patient practice it has occurred that an aneurism has been incised because it was mis taken for an abscess.
