The view of the bladder ob-tained in this way is a directone; and the open speculumallows the operator to touchany part of the bladder with asound, and to introduce variousinstruments with ease. The Instruments Used.—-The necessary instrumentsare the following: A stronglight, a head mirror, vesicalspecula with obturators, a ure-thral calibrator and dilator, anevacuator for removing urine,long mouse-toothed forceps,and a ureteral searcher. In case of emergency theinstruments absolutely neces-sary for an examination arefew and simple. The light isalways easily obtained, andevery physician owns a throatmirror. An evacuator can bemade by attaching a piece ofrubber tubing to the end of asyringe; and the dilator, for-ceps, and searcher can be dis-pensed with, so that the vesical speculum is really the only novel indispensableinstrument, and even that could be extemporized from a piece of tin or a bit ofcardboard.
