Excerpt from A Text-Book of Surgical Anatomy Anatomic facts are dry only as they are isolated. Trans lated into their clinical values they are clothed with living interest. No teacher can impart, . Or student assimilate, all the details of anatomy: The facts must be sifted, their comparative values fixed, and the reason for their acquisition demonstrated by directing attention to the practical problems with which they are associated.
