Firing. The effect of a cautery or caustic. The French, amongst whom cauterization is much used, distinguished five kinds: 1. Cauterisation Inherente, which consists in applying the actual cautery freely, and with a certain degree of force, so as to disorganize deeply. 2. Cauterisation transcurrente, which consists in passing the edge of the Cautere cultellaire, or the point of the Cautere conique lightly, so as not to disorganize deeply. 3. Cauterisation par pointes, which consists in applying on the skin, here and there, the hot point of the conical cautery, with sufficient force to cauterize the whole thickness of the skin. 4. Cauterisation lente, slow cauterization, by means of the moxa, 5. Cauterisation objective, which consists in holding the cautery at some distance from the part to be acted upon by it.
