PREFACE.
An enlightened public will readily perceive my object in publishing this limited production, when I remind them that an able statesman and a skilful general wishes to ascertain all the vulnerable points most likely to be assailed by a restless foe. As broken ribs from accident are, in one part or another, of daily occurrence, I have given directions for the simplest, easiest, and best treatment of them, and, with my respects to a generous public, at present, farewell.
