Introduction ALREADY translated into several European languages, Dr. E. Le Becs Preuves MPdicaL du Miracle is now presented for the perusal of those who desire the work in English. Although all may not assent to certain of the biological and pathological statements made by the author, his work offers precise scientific evidence of some marvellous ores which have occurred at Lourdes and elsewhere, together with clinical histories of the atients concerned. It must be remembered that if in some instances clinical details are sparse, records as kept in hospitals do not obtain in ordinary practice, from which many of these cases are culled. The paramount importance of the time is well elucidated. Its brevity must be acknowledged by all those who practise medicine and surgery as something unknown in ordinary working experience. The case of De Rudder, which occurred many years ago, is valuable in that it affords port mortem evidence of the existence of a fracture and its cure, and for this reason it is singular in the series. In conditions of such chronicity, it will be acknowledged that surgical consultations are often few and far between consequently the evidence of the existence of the fracture immediately before the cure is given by witnesses who hold no surgical qualification, but to whom credence can nevertheless be given. In certain cases which are studied the author gives adequate reasons for the absence of immediate medical evidence, but in all cases scientific testimony is proximate, and the immediate evidence is given by observant witnesses who had every reason to be truthful.
