    injuries of the stomach and intestines, I have only treated of the pathological and clinical symptoms so far as they are actually necessary for following the operations which are described. It is true that hernia might with perfect propriety have been introduced, but as it is so fully described in nearly all surgical treatises, I have only referred to it in so far as it occasions complete obstruc- tion or gangrene of the intestine. I have throughout made use of all the literature upon the subject which I have been able to obtain, and I am deeply indebted to my colleagues at the hospital for the advantage they have given me of studying cases under their care. I am also under great obligations to Sir William Mac- Cormac for the loan of a number of the blocks which illustrated his masterly monogi-aph on Gunshot Wounds of the Stomach and Intestines. I have to thank Mr. Victor Horsley for his help and suggestions in some of my experimental work, and Dr. Morotti, of Milan, for valuable assistance in the experimental work I conducted last year. Also Mr. Stanmore Bishop, Mr. Paul, Mr. Eabagliati, and others, for the loan of blocks illustrating papers which they have written upon the subject. Dr. Aim roth Wright has rendered valuable assistance by translating for me reports of foreign articles bearing upon the subject. 1, Buckingham Palace Mansions, London, S.W. May, 1892.
