    BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. A STUDY OF LOCAL CONDITIONS AND LOCAL EXPERIENCE. A Report made to the Medical Society of the County of Kings, State of New York, April 17TH, 1877. BY LEWIS S. PILCHER, M.D. The attention of the Medical Society of the County of Kings has fre- quently been directed to the examination of croup in some of its aspects in recent years. In October, 1862, Dr. Wm. Gilfillan read a paper on Tracheotomy in Diphtheritic Croup, in which three cases were re- ported. In November, 1869, Dr. J. H. H. Burge presented a paper on the Treatment of Croup. This paper attracted much attention. The views advanced in it have, to a very large degree, influenced the practice of the profession in this city ever since. In March, 1871, Dr. O. C. Sparrow read a paper on the Pathology of Croup. In March, 1874, Dr. C. H. Giberson read a paper on the Differential Diagnosis of Croup
