Reseña del editor

Since the introduction of paraffin into the domain of surgery, much has been written of its indications and contraindications, its accidental effects and dangers; much controversial testimony has been published concerning the general methods and the technics of its employment; and, especially, have there appeared confused notions of the dispositions of paraffin in the tissues notions based on faulty observations. In this monograph it has been our effort to collate and analyze this voluminous literature and, by the critical study of the results of our clinical experiences and our experiments upon cadavers and animals, to determine some of the disputed points, the practical importance of which we have also explained. Some of the photographic negatives of patients after paraffin injections, set aside for development at our leisure, were unfortunately spoiled by accidental exposure to X-rays. Where we were unable to secure duplicate negatives, we were therefore obliged to doctor pictures of the patients taken before injection, in order to show the result. In this doctoring, however, we were careful to follow exactly the lines of the fogged plates.
