    PEEFACE. As the ' Bradshaw ' Lecture for 1883, on ' Nerve-stretching for the Kehef and Cure of Pain,' dehvered at the Eoyal College of Surgeons of England, was fully reported at the time both in the * Lancet' and in the ' British Medical Journal,' I always intended to allow a certain interval to elapse before publishing the lecture in a separate form, in order that the subject might become more matured ; but certainly the delay in its publica- tion has exceeded my intentions. I now publish the Lecture almost as it was delivered, subject only to its subdivision into sections, and to such further revision as seemed desirable in order here and there to modify its colloquial style, and to avoid repetitions quite justifiable in a lecture. Such new materials as have offered themselves I have preferred to put into the form of an Appendix, the sections of which correspond with those adopted in the Lec- ture, so that they can easily be read together if it be desired to do so. It has not been attempted to exhaust every possible source of information^ nor to mention the numerous individual cases
