Preface To The Seyenth Edition

In revising this work for a seventh edition the author has not been unmindful of the valuable suggestions offered by reviewers of the previous issue.

The general arrangement of the volume is the same as that adopted for its predecessors ; all parts have been carefully revised, and matter which has become obsolete has been omitted and a large amount of new material has been added, as well as a number of new illustrations. Some recent minor surgical procedures have been incorporated, and in that portion of the work devoted to operations a number that are new has been described.

In the present revision the author has endeavored to render it worthy of a continuance of the favor with which it has hitherto been received, and hopes that it will be found to be even more closely adapted to the requirements of the student and practitioner.

The author desires to express his thanks to Dr. Francis O. Allen, Jr., for assistance in revising the proof sheets.
