    ADVERTISEMENT. But slightly acquainted with the English lan- guage, and desiring, nevertheless, to place my book in the hands of all the surgeons of this country, I have necessarily been indebted to the kindness of several friends for the transla- tion. It will not be surprising, therefore, if the reader finds the parts which compose it written in different styles. Perhaps, also, some Gallicisms and French-turned phrases may be found 5 but it is only right that I should take these to myself— for I have begged my friends to sacrifice the purity of the language to the sense.
