Reduction of an Irreducible Inguinal Hernia by the Smoking of Indian Hemp

چکیده
A Hindu Brahmin, pet. GO, by profession a cook, lias been suffering from Inguinal hernia for the last 10 or 12 years. All along the hernia was reducible, and the man did not require any surgical interference whatever, save and except he was advised to use the truss constantly. But he did not act up to it strictly, as it caused some inconvenience. On the afternoon of the 28th ultimo the man went to the water-closet, and there, in the act of defaecation, he strained much and the rupture occurred. This time, however, the rupture did not so easily go UP as was wont with him. He tried and tried to reduce it, but in vain. He instinctively plunged into the water and remained there for an hour or upwards, but that again availed not. He then applied to me after the lapse of full four hours. When I saw him the gut was distended to the size of a man's head. I tried manipulation at first, but failed ; I then tried the taxis, but failed. The man resolutely denied inhaling chloroform ; ice could not be procured at that part of the night in the suburbs. I was for the time being not a little perplexed. But on enquiry having learnt that the man was a habitual gunjah smoker, I ordered him to smoke a chillum before me, so that it might relieve him at least of the excruciating pain he was suffering under. To my utter astonishment, no sooner did the man take a strong pull at his hookah, than the rupture
