✦ Synopsis

THERE can be little doubt that there is an ever-increasing number of accidents to children each year both in this country and abroad.

This large volume is in reality an atlas illustrating the many and varied accidents which may occur to children in the home, at school, or on the roads. Numerous clinical pictures of children suffering from burns and facial and limb injuries, especially those of the hand, are illustrated.

The various operative techniques required to deal with these injuries are given in considerable detail.

The high price of this book prohibits its purchase by students of today.
