Abstract
THE exceptionally vast and various experience of the treatment of fractured bones provided by the War was responsible for bringing this, like many other departments of applied science, to a high pitch of efficiency. The author of the treatise under notice, who gives a comprehensive and lucid account of what was learned during those years of strict discipline, complains that in spite of the ever-increasing incidence of traffic and road accidents, there is a widespread tendency to relax the thoroughness of remedial measures, which the War taught surgeons to regard as vital and essential in this department of treatment, so vastly important not only from an aesthetic point of view but also even more so for its economic and utilitarian bearings.
