MILITARY MEDICAL MANUALS
From THE TIMES: "A series of really first-rate manuals of medicine and surgery ... the translations are admirably made. They give us in English that clearness of thought and that purity of style which are so delightful in French medical literature and are as good in form as in substance."

This volume appeals to surgeons no less than to radiologists. It is a summary and statement of all the progress effected by surgery during the last two and a half years. MM. Ombrédanne and Ledoux-Lebard have not, however, attempted to describe all the methods in use, whether old or new. They have rightly preferred to make a critical selection, and—after an exposition of all the indispensable principles of radiological physics—they examine, in detail, all those methods which are typical, convenient, exact, rapid, or interesting by reason of their originality: the technique of localisation, the compass, and various adjustments and forms of apparatus.
WOUNDS OF THE ABDOMEN. By G. Abadie (of Oran), National Correspondent of the Société de Chirurgie. With a Preface by Dr. J. L. Faure. Edited by Sir Arbuthnot Lane, Bart., C.B., M.S., Colonel (Temp.), Consulting Surgeon to the Forces in England. With 67 illustrations in the text and four full-page plates.

Dr. Abadie has been enabled, at all the stations of the army service departments, to weigh the value of methods and results, and considers the following problems in this volume: (1) How to decide what is the best treatment in the case of penetrating wounds of the abdomen; (2) How to install the material organisation which permits of the application of this treatment, and how to recognise those conditions which prevent its application; (3) How to decide exactly what to do in each special case—whether one should perform a radical operation, or a palliative operation, or whether one should resort to medical treatment.
WOUNDS OF THE BLOOD-VESSELS. By L. Sencert, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Nancy. Edited by F. F. Burghard, C.B., M.S., F.R.C.S., formerly Consulting Surgeon to the Forces in France. With 68 illustrations in the text and two full-page plates.

Hospital practice had long familiarised us with the vascular wounds of civil practice, and the experiments of the Val-de-Grâce School of Medicine had shown us what the wounds of the blood-vessels caused by modern projectiles would be in the next war. But in 1914 these data lacked the ratification of extensive practice. Two years have elapsed, and we have henceforth solid foundations on which to establish our treatment. In a first part, Professor Sencert examines the wounds of the great vessels in general; in a second part he rapidly surveys the wounds of vascular trunks in particular, insisting on the problems of operation to which they give rise.
