Malgaigne’s Treatise on Fractures.

Old Inter-Capsular Fracture, with considerable shortening.

A Treatise on Fractures. By Professor J. F. Malgaigne, of Paris. With over one hundred Illustrations. Translated from the French, with notes and additions, by John H. Packard, M.D. One vol. 8vo. $4.00.

Malgaigne’s Treatise has enjoyed so wide a circulation and such well-deserved renown, that we must own to a feeling of surprise at learning that before the appearance of the present work no attempt has been made to present so popular an author in an English dress. The present book, a contribution to our literature from America, is the work of a gentleman whose name is not otherwise known to us, and is one which we can conscientiously pronounce very valuable.... A very useful book indeed, and one which we hope will have an extensive circulation.—British and Foreign Med. Chir. Review.

Must be regarded as a monument, conspicuous and to be admired, even among the noble monuments of the medical literature of his [the author’s] country. As a solid, complete, substantial, highly-finished work, we know of none that is its superior; it can, with justice, be regarded as a model in scientific literature.—North American Med. Chir. Rev.

It affords us sincere pleasure to be able to welcome the appearance, in an English dress, of this valuable treatise. The annotations which Dr. Packard has appended to it are numerous, and appear to us to be of much practical value, adapting, as they do, the treatment of fractures to the generally received and most approved American methods.—Journal of the Medical Sciences.
