Note 30 — A DISSERTATION ON THE Inutility of Amputation.
S. A. D. (Samuel Auguste David) Tissot translation
It is obvious that Mr. Bilguer has not made his calculations in so favourable a manner for himself, as he might have done; I am persuaded that in 6618 wounded men, a much greater number than 245 must have died from the consequences of concussion, large flesh wounds, fevers, fluxes, and other diseases, owing to a bad habit, bad air, the season of the year, &c. Tissot.
