Excerpt from Occlusion of the Lateral Sinus and Internal Jugular Vein
It has been said of the speech of Bums "that it was distinguished by always having something in it" and that "always when he did speak it was to throw new light upon the matter." "I know not," adds Carlyle, "why anyone should ever speak otherwise." When I received an invitation from your secretaries to open a discussion on the surgical principles which should be our guide in the operative treatment of an acute septic process arising in the temporal bone, with special reference to the question of operation on the vena jugularis interna, these words came into my mind, and I asked myself how I could best conform to their standard. In presenting to you the fruit of personal observation and reflection I hope at least to avoid "matter needless of import less burden," for men will listen "to any Sermon or Sermo when it is a spoken Word meaning a Thing, and not a Babblement meaning No-thing."
There can be no question that there is a wide divergence of opinion on the subject before us. This was impressed upon me during a flying visit which I made last summer, in the pleasant and instructive company of Dr. Barkan, of San Francisco, to the urological clinics of Korner, Lucae, Trautmann, Jansen, Schwartze and Grunert, Barth, Politzer, and Bezold.
