DYNAMITE INTURIES.

DYNAMITE INTURIES. The past two years have been rather fruiful of new surgical injuries. To the much written of "lawn-tennis back," "lawn-tennis knee," " football shoulder " and "bicycle perineum," it seems that we must now admit "dynamite injuries" as a peculiar class of surgical lesions.
