Excerpt from On Hip-Joint Disease: With Reference Especially to Treatment by Mechanical Means, for the Relief of Contraction and Deformity of the Affected Limb

The recent advances of science, especially in the department known as orthopaedic surgery, have gra dually shown to the world that many deformities of this class admit of alleviation to a much greater extent than in former ages appeared to be practicable, and it therefore appears somewhat singular, and may afford some ground for the accusation of supineness on the part of surgical practitioners, that more numerous and successful attempts have not been made of late years to adopt improved methods of treatment.
