Excerpt from A Treatise on Diseases of the Bones Bone possesses in its healthy state but little sensibility. But under circumstances of disease, its sensibility often becomes wonderfully ex alted. Thus I have witnessed the manifestation of pain as acute from the penetration of an inflamed bone by a saw or trephine as from the incisions of inflamed soft parts. We Observe, moreover, the granula: tions from diseased bone participating in' the morbid sensibility of' its tissue. Such being the vital properties of bone, it IS very liable to disease and its diseases are many, when compared with the diseases of muscle, tendon, or nerve, or indeed of any other organ or tissue.
