     summary: It will be noted that my experience was almost entirely confined to bullet wounds, and in this respect it no doubt differs from that of surgeons employed in Natal, where shell injuries were more numerous. Lastly, with regard to suppuration, only a small proportion of the fractures, accompanied by the presence of large wounds, escaped infection.

     summary: Finding pus, I made an incision only about half an inch long, and squeezed out perhaps an ounce of pus. Did not wash out the upper or left hand part of the pouch on the back, for fear of disturbing adhesions that are taking place.

       title: The Cure of Rupture by Paraffin Injections
        date: None
       words: 8962
      flesch: 66
     summary: Vehement protests against the use of paraffin injections are to be expected from surgeons doing the open operation, and unbiased readers should not be misled by condemnatory remarks from inexperienced sources. Paraffin in the solid state will seldom if ever escape along the side of the plunger within the barrel of the instrument when the all metal paraffin syringe is used and the all metal syringe is the only instrument which should be used for paraffin injections.

      flesch: 51
     summary: In the factitious, all the parts are more or less altered by _disease_, acute or chronic; and as a sequel to the latter, or to repeated attacks of the former, _true contraction_ takes place; the prepuce often attaining a hard and gristly consistence, under which condition simple dilatation is difficult or impossible. Tylor speaks of it as this once world-wide custom (_Primitive Culture_, i. 76).
