In removing a large and long spur from the nasal septum, it is necessary to trephine through the center of the spur, then above and below the center in lines parallel with the first section, if the small trephine is employed. If the spur is longer than the tube of the trephine, the instrument ceases to cut as soon as it penetrates the distance of its own length, for the portion of the spur that enters the tube fails to pass out of the counter-opening as
