    AN E S S A Y^^^C^;^^ TREATMENT COMPOUND AND COMPLICATED FRACTURES, BEING THE ANNUAL ADDRESS BEFORE THE MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOCIETY, MAY 28, 1845. ■A BY WILLIAM J. WALKER, M. D. -^^.^^ V FELLOW OF THE SOCIETY. *Instruire les gens par Observations, c'est les instruire, pour oinsi dire, par figures, et par de vivea peintures qui representent au naturel les maladies.' Peiit. * Those who are employed in recording cosea 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 distint 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 Surgeryy Vol. III. yage 99 Quarto Ed * Per varios usus artem experientia fecit Exemplo monstraute viam.* . . • Mcodlivs, PRESS OF BOSTON: CROCKER & BREWSTER. 1845.
