SURGERY will acquire an additional interest from the aid of Photographic illustration. The operator cannot exaggerate the deformity, and an amiable artist cannot flatter the curative result; while the reporter is spared the lengthy verbal description by the rapidity of object teaching.

I am indebted to the care and skill of Messrs. Bradley & Rulofson, of San Francisco, for the subjoined photographs.–page 150.
