About this book
Commentaries on the Surgery of the War in Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands is by G. J. Guthrie. The title page gives its range as from the battle of Roliça, in 1808, to that of Waterloo, in 1815. Under a heading of aphorisms for amputations, an entry says amputation of a limb is the last resource and the opprobrium of surgery, as death is of the practice of physic.
A case described in the text says a flexible iron wire was passed through both bones on either side, and the two ends twisted and left out between the flaps of skin. A passage on the lung says a slight crepitation or crackling begins again to be heard at the end of each inspiration when the lung is about to be restored to a state of health. A passage on wounds says a muscle, in the act of contraction, may oppose an obstacle to the passage of an instrument in the direction the ball has taken.
