Excerpt from Contributions Reparative Surgery: Its Application to the to of Treatment of Produced by Destructive Disease, or Injury; Congenital Defects From Arrest or Excess of Developdevelopment; And Cicatricial Contractions Tractions From Burns The volume now offered to the medical profession contains the authors own experience in the department of practical surgery of which it treats. While it makes no claim to be a systematic and thorough treatise on the subject, it will, nevertheless, be found to contain, in a classified order, much that is treated in existing works on plastic surgery. It is believed also, that, in addition to this, something new and useful has been contributed to the resources of surgical art. There is no department of surgery where the ingenuity and skill of the surgeon are more severely taxed than when required to repair the damage sustained by the loss of parts, or to remove the disfigurement produced by destructive disease or violence, or to remedy the deformities of congenital malformation.
