to be drawn forwards by an assistant. In order to guard against the risk of injecting the Bronchial arteries and capillaries by the same fluid which is being forced into the pulmonary <s>artery<\s> veins a strong ligature should be passed around the root of the aorta, so as to prevent any injection, which might be forced into the left ventricle through the mitral valve, from finding its way into the aorta. These preliminaries having been arranged it is advantageous in the next place to pump a quantity of warm water through the pipe inserted into the pulmonary artery and to continue to do so until it passes out quite clear through the pipe inserted into the left auricular appendix - The object of this is to clear away the blood, which would otherwise remain in the capillaries of the Pulmonary vessels, and would prevent the coloured fluid from duly entering them - This done the suction pipe of each pump is to be placed in the vessel contain= =ing the appropriate injection. If the intention is rather to shew the capillaries in connection with the pulmonary artery in preference to those <s>in<\s> more im= =mediately in relation with the pulmonary veins, it will be desirable to use freshly precipitated chromate
