PESHAWUR CHARITABLE DISPENSARY. CASE OF SALIVARY CALCULUS.
By Sub-Assistant Surgeon Cheytun
Siiah.
In my out-door dispensary practice, a lad came to me at the Peshawar Charitable Dispensary, and said that some three years stuck into his mouth and it went below the ago a bailey grain surface, and could not be seen. There was no inconvenience for some time, but afterwards the part used to swell occasionally and give him much trouble. On each occasion of trouble the part swelled into a boil of the size of a nut, and went down by the application of leeches applied externally. This time it is again beginning to swell. On examination, a hard swelling was discovered by the side of his tongue, on the floor of the mouth, with a small opening leading into it. Through this opening, I felt a stone-like thing by the probe. I then cut upon it and extracted the substance. It consisted of a barley grain coated with several layers of a white substance, hard like stone. It was 'imbedded apparently in the duct of the sub-maxillary gland.
