LONDON: UNIVERSITY OF LONDON PRESS, LTD., 18, WARWICK SQUARE, E.C.4 MILITARY MEDICAL MANUALS From THE TIMES: "A series of really first-rate manuals of medicine and surgery ... the translations are admirably made. They give us in English that clearness of thought and that purity of style which are so delightful in French medical literature and are as good in form as in substance." LOCALISATION AND EXTRACTION OF PROJECTILES. By Assistant Professor Ombrédanne, of the Faculty of Medicine, Paris, and M. Ledoux-Lebard, Director of the Laboratory of Radiology of the Hospitals of Paris. Edited by A. D. Reid, C.M.G., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., Major (Temp.) R.A.M.C. With a Preface on Extraction of the Globe of the Eye, by Colonel W. T. Lister, C.M.G.. With 225 illustrations in the text and 30 full-page photographs. Price 10/6 net This volume appeals to surgeons no less than to radiologists. It is a summary and statement of all the progress effected by surgery during the last two and a half years. MM. Ombrédanne and Ledoux-Lebard have not, however, attempted to describe all the methods in use, whether old or new. They have rightly preferred to make a critical selection, and--after an exposition of all the indispensable principles of radiological physics--they examine, in detail, all those methods which are typical, convenient, exact, rapid, or interesting by reason of their originality: the technique of localisation, the compass, and various adjustments and forms of apparatus. WOUNDS OF THE ABDOMEN. By G. Abadie (of Oran), National Correspondent of the Société de Chirurgie. With a Preface by Dr. J. L. Faure. Edited by Sir Arbuthnot Lane, Bart., C.B., M.S., Colonel (Temp.), Consulting Surgeon to the Forces in England. With 67 illustrations in the text and four full-page plates. Price 7/6 net Dr. Abadie has been enabled, at all the stations of the army service departments, to weigh the value of methods and results, and considers the following problems in this volume: (1) How to decide _what is the best treatment_ in the case of penetrating wounds of the abdomen; (2) How to install the _material organisation_ which permits of the application of this treatment, and how to recognise those conditions which prevent its application; (3) How to decide _exactly what to do in each special_ case--whether one should perform a radical operation, or a palliative operation, or whether one should resort to medical treatment.
