Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Treatment of Wounds and Fractures The clinical material 'under my hand has so steadily increased, that the book has I only been kept within moderate limits, and proportionately prevented becoming a burden to busy men, by excluding all matter not strictly relevant. My chief endeavour has been to demonstrate the identity and continuity of the principles of Surgical Therapeutics, irrespective of the tissues affected. Wounds are fractures, and fractures wounds; differing; in the situation and density of the structures involved, but essentially solutions of continuity, similar in causation, in processes of physiological repair, and. In surgical treatment. To preserve the colloquial style in which the informa tion has been communicated to succeeding classes of students, at the bedside and in the operating theatre, theform Iof Clinical Lectures has been retained; and I have added to them concise directions, for carrying into practice the principles of treatment. To reduce the inconvenience of desultory treatment which is of the essence of clinical instruction, each lecture is, so far as practicable, complete under its distinctive heading, and a full index is appended; but no attempt has been made to give the volume the completeness and method of a treatise, which it is not. Practitioners who consult these pages will, it is hoped, not misinterpret my motives in dealing plainly, and in detail, with elementary and apparently trivial matters.
