Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood's Medical and Surgical Monographs, Vol. 2 Through a careful statement of the etiology and the pathological anatomy of the subjects with which we are con cerned, I have endeavored to expose clearly the methods of treatment, and to simplify early diagnosis. In the choice of illustrations (and it seemed to me essential to select a large number) I have aimed at picturing the slighter as well as the more uncommon grades of deformities, and at representing apparatus of the most varied nature, which the physician must order even as he does the drugs in his recipe, that is to say he must give the mechanic explicit directions, and herein the illustrations will be of much service. I trust that the following exposition of orthopedic practice and methods may excite the interest of physicians in this branch of medicine, for orthopedics may be looked upon as a step-child of the other medical branches, and I hope it may obtain for orthopedic methods more general recognition.
