Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Treatment of Infantile Paralysis
I have long been thinking of trying to fill this gap in our surgical literature, but have been too busy to do so. I felt, moreover, that if I were to improve upon von Heine's work, it could only be by basing my statements upon a very extensive personal experience.
The number of paralytics who have passed through my hands during the past fifteen years is certainly greater than any collection of cases that has yet been recorded in an epidemic.
In the matter of treatment, too, orthopaedic methods continue to advance, and new surgical modes are constantly being introduced. It seems well, therefore, to delay no longer, but to bring out this book at once, while current events are directing public as well as surgical interest to the question of infantile paralysis.
