In the treatment and prevention of Piles, the use of wooden or cane bottomed chairs, instead of soft cushioned seats, is an important adjunct. (* The course of the arterial circulations of the but buttocks and thighs appears to be so arranged that when sitting on hard seats the pressure is sustained by the bones; on the contrary, on cushioned seats the weight of the body is chiefly sustained by the soft parts, and, consequently, pressure is made on the blood-vessels; hence soft seats favour the production of piles, as also of uterine disorders, by pressure on the arteries as to drive emerge from the pelvis, and so tend to drive the blood into the interior of that cavity. This is well demonstrated by Mr. Holden is St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, Vol.Vl., article Medical and surgical Landmarks.
