    FRACTURES, BEING THE ANNUAL ADDRESS BEFORE THE MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOCIETY, IN BOSTON, U. S. AMERICA, MAY 28, 1845. BY WILLIAM J. WALKER, M. D. FELLOW OF THE SOCIETY. 'Instruire leg gens par Observations, c’est leg instruire, pour ainsi dire, par figures, et par de vives peintures qui represented au naturel les maladies.’ Petit. ‘ Those who are employed in recording cases on unquestionable facts, give us the true and only picture of diseases. They speak of none which they have not seen. But systematic authors, obliged to explain each disease in its order, give descriptions of diseases widely distant from truth, describing what mani¬ festly they have not seen, and explaining, without the slightest remission of their wonted confidence, what they have not learned and cannot know.’ John Bell, Principles of Surgery, Vol.Ul. page 99 Quarto Ed ‘ Per varios usus artem experientia fecit Exemplo monstrante viam.’ . . . Manilius, BOSTON: 1 PRESS OF CROCKER & BREWSTER. 1845.
