ERRONEOUS THEORIES IN MEDICAL ScIENcE-At a
meeting OF the Academy of Medical Science, in New
York, on Wednesday evening, DR.. Detmold exhibited
a thumb which was torn from the hand of the late
owner during the day. One tendon was left attached
to the thumb six inches long and sundry nerves
which had broken at various distances above the
point where the muscles had separated. The point
that the Doctor made from this text was that the
common doctrine not always true, viz that in the
living body the tendons ruptured more easily than
the muscles, while in the dead body the muscles are
most easily rupured. In this case, which seemed to
be fair one, the tendon evidently was broken only
after the end of the thumb had been removed some in
ches from the hand. The contrary doctrine, that the
muscles hold out longest, is laid down in all the books
and is the belief of all orthodox schools Another in
stance of an error, perpetuaed through centuries,
the doctrine that, in gun shot wound, the smaller
opening is the made in entering, and the larger
one in passing out. But extended experience
il gun shot wounds shows that the axiom is not gen.
orally true. Another was the popular belief, which
all manner of old hooks have endorsed. that sponta-
neous combustion had occasionally taken place The
belief, however, being brought to the of legal ex-
animation, Llebig proved that authenticated case
had ever occurred that wherever they spoken of
they could be traced back 10 the Middle Ages or to
the jealous than wise statements of enthusiasts
for certain reforms.
