Excerpt from Contributions to Abdominal Surgery Barnard's premature death is a loss to Surgery. From the commencement of his career on the Staff of the London Hospital, he was attracted to Abdominal Surgery, and his more important communications to various societies and to the medical papers dealt with this. His last work, on Subphrenic Abscess, published the year of his death, was universally recognized as a great advance on previous know ledge, and has done much to clarify our ideas on what is one of the most difficult subjects in this branch of Surgery; careful perusal of this work, putting into practice its teach ings, will be the means of saving many lives.

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on Abdominal Surgery and Other Subjects Since Professor Parkes' early and unexpected death, many of his pupils and friends have expressed a wish to secure a collection of reports of his clinical lectures, and it is in response to these requests that this book has been compiled. These lectures were all delivered extemporaneously, and the work has been compiled mostly from stenographic notes, taken by Dr. F. M. Crane, one of the students of the Rush Medical College during the last two years of the author's life. The volume comprises lectures on Abdominal Surgery, containing the results of the author's vast experience in this department; a paper on The Treatment of Gun-shot Wounds of the Small Intestines, based upon a series of experiments on dogs; it also contains short clinical lectures upon almost every subject in Surgery. From ten to twenty patients were present for treatment at each clinic, consequently only the important practical facts could be dwelt upon - the theoretical discussion being reserved for the three didactic lectures which the author delivered each week. In order to illustrate the amount of work which had to be performed during one session, the stenographic report of one entire clinic has been added as an appendix. Most of the cases considered were referred to the clinic by alumni of the college. Their initials and addresses have been preserved for the purpose of identification. It is, of course, plain that these papers are not nearly so complete or comprehensive as they would be had they been written by the author for publication, or even had he revised the stenographic reports of the extemporaneous lectures. Care has been taken to preserve almost entirely the language used by the lecturer, because in this, it would seem, by reason of its force and charm, lie the special value and fascination of this work for his pupils and his friends.
