Excerpt from A Sketch of the Principles and Practice of Subcutaneous Surgery: Being the Oration Delivered Before the Medical Society of London, at Their Eighty-Fourth Anniversary, March 9, 1857 The occasion of this Address. - Allusion to the deceased Members of the Medical Society. - Objects and advantages of pathological investigations, not only in relation to medicine, but as leading the student of natural science to the discovery of some of the great laws of life, the investigation of which constitutes the highest object of human enquiry. Labours of J. H. Green in connexion therewith - Object of the present address to prove the accuracy, and to Show the surgical application, of one of the most important laws of the reparative process in wounds discovered by Hunter. - Law of the reparative process in subcutaneous and open wounds - My reasons for selecting this subject - Orthopaedic Surgery. - Importance of recognizing Hunter's claim to the Law which governs the reparative process in subcutaneous and open wounds; because the same law has been laid down and made the basis of the so-called subcutaneous method, by M. Jules Guerin, without allusion to the labours of Hunter. - Illustrations given by Hunter. - Additional illustrations of the reparative process in subcutaneous injuries and open wounds - Observations on the reparative process in a class of injuries intermediate between subcutaneous and open wounds; viz. Open wounds quickly closed. Application of the facts observed in the repair of subcutaneous injuries to the surgical treatment of open wounds, so as to bring the latter more or less perfectly into the same conditions as the former; as in the ordinary treatment of incised wounds, the treatment of burns and scalds, and the treatment of lacerated and punctured wounds by the natives of India and the uncivilized portions of the world - Successful mode of treating compound fractures adopted by the late Mr. Bennion, of Shropshire - Important views of Stromeyer on the treatment of compression from compound fracture of the skull with depressed bone, based upon the observation of the reparative process in subcutaneous and Open wounds. The application of the trephine opposed. Remarkable success of the non-operative treatment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
