Transcriber’s Notes
Inconsistent and archaic spelling, hyphenation and capitalisation have been retained, also in anatomical and medical terminology and in proper names, except as mentioned under Changes made below.
Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text, not all elements may display as intended.
Texts in a dashed box under illustrations have been copied from the accompanying illustration for better legibility.
Most illustrations may be enlarged by opening them in a new tab or window. This may not be available in all formats.
The page numbering is as in the source document, where page numbering jumps from page ix to page 17.
Due to the lack of detail in the Table of Contents, the structure of the book ((sub-)sections, chapters, parts) as used in this e-text is based mainly on the typography used in the source document; this has lead to some inconsistencies that may appear in auto-generated tables of contents.
Page 195, ... that 5 per cent. is more than adequate ...: appears to be contradicted by the remainder of the sentence; possibly 5 per cent. is an error for .5 per cent.
Page 275, Fig. 80: There is no line in the source document to indicate item a.
Page 411, ... two lateral incisions, with through drainage ...: possibly an error for ... thorough drainage.
Page 425, ... absorbents are eared or closed ...: as printed in the source document; possibly erroneously.
Page 534, ... the section on fractures of the elbow-joint ...: there is no such section in the book; these fractures are discussed under fractures of the arm and the forearm.
Page 1037, Fig. 696: reference numbers 1 and 2 are not present in the illustration.
