Injection Method of Treating Enlarged Inguinal Glands in Early Cases of Lymphopathia Venereum (Lymphogranuloma Inguinale) *Note.—The nomenclature of this disease has undergone a number of changes, and until a few years ago 'lymphogranuloma inguinale' was favoured by the majority of writers. This name was unsuitable, mainly because the pathological process is essentially unlike a granuloma and the name lymphopathia venereum seems to find most favour to-day. This is the term adopted by Dr. H. S. Stannus in the British Encyclopædia of Medical Practice. As uniformity is advisable we have changed the title and text of this paper in accordance with modern usage.—Editor, I. M. G.
