Excerpt from Medical Portrait Gallery, Vol. 2: Biographical Memoirs of the Most Celebrated Physicians, Surgeons, Etc, , Etc, , Who Have Contributed to the Advancement of Medical ScienceThe Count was wounded in the arm - the bullet had sunk deep into the ¿esh -it was, however, extracted - and he is now in a fair way of recovery.' That Will do very well for a novel, but it won't do for us, Gentlemen for Sir Ralph Aber cromby received a ball in the thick part of his thigh, and it buried itself deep, deep: and it got among important parts, and it couldn't be felt, but the surgeons, nothing daunted, groped, and groped, and groped, and Sir Ralph died.Then he would enter upon an admirable discourse on the nature of gun shot wounds - their peculiar character - the course they followed - and he would reprobate, in the strongest manner, the impropriety and danger of seeking after balls in deep-seated parts, or in the cavities of the human body. Then he would contrast the improvements that had been made by the modems over the practice of the ancients, and, by the relation of often ludicrous and always interesting anecdotes, fix the subject on the minds of his pupils in the most indelible manner.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
