A Treatise on Orthopaedic Surgery.

This edition of Whitman fully maintains the high character that we have learned from previous editions to associate with this work, and quite justifies the imposing inverted typographic trapezoid on the title page containing the list of titles, positions and affiliations attached and subjoined to this distinguished author's name. The conventional classification used in former editions is also used in this one with the addition of a new chapter, No. XXIV, on military orthopedics. This chapter gives very fully the rules of selective service governing orthopedic disabilities, and then takes up the official list of conditions belonging to the orthopedic service mapped out and practiced during the war and subsequent reconstruction. Besides this new chapter practically every section has new and added information. There is no better textbook on orthopedic surgery in any language. The publishers' work is up to their usual high standard.
