THE CLINICAL FORMS OF NERVE LESIONS (Vol. I). By Mme. Athanassio
Benisty, House Physician of the Hospitals of Paris (Salpêtrière),
with a Preface by Professor Pierre Marie. Edited with a Preface by E.
Farquhar Buzzard, M.D., F.R.C.P., Captain R.A.M.C.(T.), etc. With 81
illustrations in the text, and seven full-page plates. Price 6/- net
In this volume will be found described some of the most recent
acquisitions to our knowledge of the neurology of war. But
its principal aim is to initiate the medical man who is not
a specialist into the examination of nerve injuries. He will
quickly learn how to recognise the nervous territory affected,
and the development of the various clinical features; he will be
in a position to pronounce a precise diagnosis, and to foresee
the consequences of this or that lesion.
THE TREATMENT AND REPAIR OF NERVE LESIONS (Vol. II). By Mme.
Athanassio Benisty. Edited by E. Farquhar Buzzard, M.D., F.R.C.P.,
Capt. R.A.M.C.(T.), etc. With 62 illustrations in the text and four
full-page plates. Price 6/- net
This volume is the necessary complement of the first. It
explains the nature of the lesions, their mode of repair,
their prognosis, and above all their _treatment_. It provides
a series of particularly useful data as to the evolution of
nerve-wounds--the opportunities of intervention--and the
prognosis of immediate complications or late sequelae.

"The importance of this comprehensive series can hardly be
exaggerated. The French genius in its application to scientific
medicine will be discovered here at its best and it will
be found to be a distinct gain to have had this method of
collaboration applied to so important an enterprise."
THE TREATMENT OF FRACTURES. By R. Leriche, Assistant Professor in the
Faculty of Medicine, Lyons. Edited by F. F. Burghard, C.B., M.S.,
F.R.C.S., formerly Consulting Surgeon to the Forces in France. Vol.
I.--"Fractures Involving Joints." With 97 illustrations from original
and specially prepared drawings. Price 6/- net
The author's primary object has been to produce a handbook of
_surgical therapeutics_. But surgical therapeutics does not mean
merely the technique of operation. Technique is, and should be,
only a part of surgery, especially at the present time. The
purely operative surgeon is a very incomplete surgeon in time
of peace; "in time of war he becomes a public disaster; for
operation is only the first act of the first dressing."
Vol. II.--"Fractures of the Shaft." With 156 illustrations from
original and specially prepared drawings. Price 6/- net
