    show the reader that we have mastered many of the difficulties of the undertaking, and that our expectations of making a practical camera for ob- taining faithful negatives of the mucous membrane of the living viscus in health and disease are neither Utopian nor unfounded. But, until we are able to thus graphically record the many new and interesting clinical facts which the electric cystoscope is constantly revealing, I wish to advo- cate a substitute which I have emplo}red for some time, and with considerable advantage. I refer 1 o modelling in some plastic material the interior of the living bladder as it appears illuminated by electric light.* The plan T have lately adopted of making clay or wax models of the diseased living bladder is similar to that which T recommended at last year's Surgical Congresst in'Berlin, for recording the changes of Bhape in the living pros- t.itr.i It is easily carried out, and only needs a small bowl or its shape-equivalent, a little oil, a penknife, and a handful of sculptor's clay. .Anilmr, Clay and Wai Modelling of the Living Urinary Bladder under Electric Light, ' British Medical Journal,' Jan. 5th, l f •- debar Thonabdruoke der Prostata am Lebenden, Lan- genbei I.'
