LECTURE X._Commentaries on the Surgery of the War in Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands from the battle of Roliça, in 1808, to that of Waterloo, in 1815; with additions relating to those in the Crimea in 1854-55, showing the improvements made during and since that period in the great art and science of surgery on all the subjects to which they relate.

Proper treatment of wounded arteries due to the Peninsular war;

Hunterian theory inapplicable; opposing theory of Mr. Guthrie; means

supposed to be adopted by nature for the suppression of bleeding from

large arteries from the time of Celsus to 1811 disputed; their true

nature shown; important distinction drawn between the processes adopted

with the upper and lower ends of a divided artery; cases illustrative

of the facts stated; application of a small ligature; consequent

processes; opinions formerly entertained, erroneous; internal coagulum

not absolutely necessary; artery does not always contract up to its

next collateral branch, nor is it necessary; important case in proof;

ligatures should be small, round, and strong; undue interference to be

avoided. pp. 187-208
