THIS volume contains, in the first half, articles dealing with operative and post-operative methods and results of various wounds in war. In the second half more stress is laid upon the bacteriological aspect and histological appearances of war-injured tissues. In the first article, by Dr. Depage, is a general discussion of excision and delayed primary and secondary suture of wounds. The author deals with the application of this method of treatment to various regions of the body, and lays particular stress on avoiding transverse incisions in the limbs, which, although giving free access, lead to unduly severe loss of tissue and difficulty in suture. The percentage results of success obtained are excellent. Ambulance de “L'Ocean,” La Panne. Tome ii., fasc. 1. Travaux publies sous la Direction du Dr. A. Depage. Pp. 376.
