    (8) The modern revival of the older method of extirpation of aneurisms should not be attempted for spontaneous cervical aneurisms. The Treatment of Thoracic Aneurisms. (1) All methods should be aided by the employment of rest in bed and proper diet. (2) The permanent introduction of foreign substances should not be employed. (3) “ Needling ” should be tried, aided by distal compres- sion, when feasible, during the use of the needles; if this fails, distal ligation should be resorted to. (4) Distal interruption of the blood current by simultaneous ligation of the carotid and subclavian arteries may be tried. (5) “Needling” is indicated when complete or partial failure follows distal ligation. The Treatment of Abdominal Aneurisms. (1) All methods should include recumbency and diet. (2) “ Needling,” when this can be done without injury to the hollow viscera, is the most promising plan. (3) Proximal or distal compression may be tried, with or without “needling,” but to be effectual must be done under anaesthesia. (4) The permanent introduction of foreign bodies into the sac is unadvisable (see Proposition No. 7, Carotid Aneurisms).
