    mended by other far more experienced prac- titioners, and I trust I shall not incur the charge of presumption in so doing. Convinced that we have erred, it becomes our duty to prevent, if possible, others from following the same course. Unhappily for science in general, and the pro- fession of surgery in particular, we are too apt to rely upon the authority of others, instead of judging from our own observation. It has been my endeavour to impart, in as clear and concise a manner as possible, practical information on the subject; and, whatever may be my deficiency of knowledge respecting it, I am, nevertheless, induced to hope, that the fol- lowing imperfect essay, if it should be pro- ductive of no other benefit, may be at least the means of directing the attention of the profession to a malady, which, whether considered in itself, or in relation to its effects upon the constitution, is, in my opinion, among the most frequent and distressing to which the human frame is liable. January 1, 1828.
