    THE HUNTERIAN LIGATION OF ARTERIES Mlmt miU §mmi §t»tmdm §idlmnmim: By henry F. CAMPBELL, M. B.. PROFESSOR OF ANATOMY IN THE NEW ORLEANS SCHOOL OE MEDICINE, And, duriu;? the War, Consulting Surgeon to the Georgia Hospitals, Eichniond, Va. [ ExtraQted frora the Avgusi (18C6) iVo, uf Sovthern Journal of the Medic.il Sdenas.'] ^ isuMBEii of communications liave recently appeared in tlie Medical Tournals of tlie country, the object of wliicli was to discuss the value of he above procedure as a means of preventing inflammation. xUl these jticles refer—generally, with great fairness—to a paper of our OAvn, aiblished during the late war. As this paper was, at the time,* put brth anonymously, and still more for the reason that the subject vas therein but imperfectly considered, we feel it our duty, in declaring brmally our authorship of the publication, to present a more detailed Lccount of the cases, together Avith more extended considerations relat- ng to this important measure of practice. During the war, just ended, the difficulties of communication attend- ng the blockade rendered it impossible to supply the army Avitli con- venient and suitable medical Avorks. Dr. S. P. Moore, then Surgeon- jreneral of the Confederate States, determined to issue a work on Ope- •ative Surgery, for the use of medical officers in the field and in the lospitals. The necessarily compendious character of tlieAvork restricted ts teachings to only a few of the more prominent subjects of military surgery :—A brief chapter on Surgical Diseases ; another on Gunshot Wounds; a third on The Arteries; a fourth on Amputations; and * Richnnond, October, 1863.
