PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION
THE need for a new edition has made it possible to earry out a general
revision and to make a number of alterations.
Some sections, for example, those dealing with thrombo-phlebitis,
brachial neuritis, seiatica, peptie uleer, splenie anemia, and intestinal
obstruction have been rewritten.
There have been added, inter alia, deseriptions of vaseular hyper-
tension, eausalgia, and tumours of muscles. There is, too, a new ehapter
on diseases of the pericardium, the heart, and great vessels.
Some of the older illustrations haye been replaced by clearer
examples, and a number of new ones hnve been brought in. The size
of the book is unaltered.
The book is intended for senior students of surgery, for whom it is
hoped it will continue to be of value.
Our thanks are due to the publishers for their care and courtesy
in the preparation of the new edition.
