SCIENTIFIC CATALOGUE. 



The author's object throughout the investigations and experimefits on 

 which this volume is founded has been to ascertain^ clearly and 

 definitely^ the action of the drugs employed on the healthy body in 

 medicinal doses ^ from the smallest to the largest ; to deduce simple 

 practical conclusions from the facts observed ; and then to apply the 

 drug to the relief of the particular conditions to which its action 

 appeared suited. Many experiments have been made by the author 

 both on men and the lower animals ; and the author' s endeavour 

 has been to present to the mind, as far as words may do, impres- 

 sions of the actual condition of the individual subjected to the 

 drug. '' Those who are interested generally in the progress of 

 medical science will find much to repay a careful pei^usal.^^

Hood (Wharton).— ON BONE-SETTING (so called), and 

 its Relation to the Treatment of Joints Crippled by Injury, Rheu- 

 matism, Inflammation, etc. etc. By Wharton P. Hood, 



M.D., M.R.C.S. Crown 8vo. 4^. 6d, 



he author for a period attended the London practice of the late Mr. 

 Hutton, the fa?Hous and successful bone-setter, by whom he was 

 initiated into the mystery of the art and practice. Thus the author 

 is amply qualified to write on the subject from the practical point of 

 viezv, while his professional education enables him to consider it in 

 its scientific and surgical bearings. In the present work he gives a 

 brief account of the salient features of a bone-sette)-'' s method of pro- 

 cedttrein the treatmeitt of damaged joints, of the 7'esults of that ti^eat- 

 ment, and of the class of cases in which he has seen it prove successful. 

 I he author's aim is to give the rationale of the bone-setter^ s practice, 

 to reduce it to something like a scientific method, to show when force 

 should be resorted to and when it should not, and to initiate 

 surgeons into the seci^et of Mr. Huttofis successful manipulation. 

 Throughout the work a great number of authentic instances of 

 successful treatment are given, with the details of the method of 

 cure ; and the Chapters on Manipulations and Afi^ections of the 

 Spine are illustrated by a number of appropiHate and well-executed 



cuts.
