In the arrangement of this portion of the volume, the Author has thought it expedient to give pretty full details, showing the indications of treatment in each particular case of Fracture, and thereby rendering more manifest the adaptation of each bandage, splint, or other dressing, to the fulfilment of these requirements. The fourth division describes the mechanical means em- ployed in the treatment of dislocations, with the mode of ap- plying them. In the fifth part are detailed at length the methods of per- forming such operations as seem strictly to be included in the term Minor Surgery; these are the operations for bleed- ing, general and local; the modes of effecting counter-irrita- tion ;— the methods of arresting haemorrhage; the closure of wounds ; the introduction of the catheter, and the adminis- tration of injections. A few remarks on the mode of relieving pain during operations, and a short appendix of useful for- mulae, close the volume. Philadelphia, May, 1848.
