    according to the time required for recovery or the ability to resume work. The colored j)lates are copied from original water- colors, done for the most part from life, by Mr. Fink, whose work gives evidence of keen perception t)f medical requirements as well as of artistic merit. The illustrations in black and the pen-and-ink drawings also testify to his ability. The other illustrations and skiagraphs are from ])h()to- graphs, drawings, sole-imprints, etc., made in my hos})ital. The chapters on anatomy are based on original studies on the cadaver as well as on living subjects. The works of other and better known writers have been freely consulted, with due acknowledgment in the text, whenever appropriate. I refer, among others, to the works of Thiem, Wagner and Stolper, F. Konig, Hel- ferich, Hoifa, Kaufman n, Rauber, Poirier, Bardeleben, Ferd. Baelir, and F. Riedinger. The text in general is based on an experience with accident-cases extending over thirteen years, and embracing a total of 5245 cases, a con- siderable number of which have remained under observa- tion since the first few years following the passage of the Accident-insurance Law. Each class of injuries is })ref- accd by a reference to the number of cases personally observed. The Atlas and Ej)itome does not claim to cover the subject completely, certain special branches, such as in- juries of the eyes, ears, and female generative organs, not being even touched U])on. The style is condensed, as is to be expected in a work of this character, but much that is omitted in the text is supplied in the descriptive cases.
