Abstract
 
 
There is one absolute contra- indication, i.e., previous phlebitis of the deep veins. In all other cases the operator must combine judgment and knowledge of general medicine, and if there are other methods of curing or relieving the varicose condition, he ought not to allow his zeal for the injection method of treatment to outrun hie discretion. The advantages of this method of treatment. 1. It is safe. So far I know of no case of embolus in cases treated on the lines I have indicated. 2. It is ambulatory: The patient can remain at work. It is only in a small percentage of cases that rest in bed is necessary and even then two or three days are sufficient. Of course I exclude here those patients whose mentality urges there to go to bed when they suffer the slightest pain or inconvenience. 3. It is curative: if the patient will persevere one can guarantee a cure in all those cases where proper selection and judgment have indicated the necessity for treatment.
