This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

John Hooker Packard was born on August 15, 1832 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. He was the the son of Frederick A. Packard, of old New England ancestry. His father's line went back to Samuel Packard who came to America in 1638. Through his mother, Elizabeth Dwight (Hooker), he was descended from Reverend Thomas Hooker, who emigrated to New England in 1633, and founded the town of Hartford, Connecticut, in 1636.
John Hooker Packard received the degree of the Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania in 1850, and that of Doctor of Medicine from the same institution in 1853.
John Packard went abroad and walked the hospitals of the Old World, spending most of his time in London and Paris, in the latter place seeing some of Nelaton's operations. On his return to America he served as resident physician in the Pennsylvania Hospital, with which institution he was to have a long and honorable career. During the Civil War he was acting assistant surgeon in the United States Army, and served as attending surgeon to the Christian Street and to the Satterlee General hospitals in Philadelphia. Though ill at the time, he obeyed at once emergency orders to report at the scene of action during the battle of Gettysburg, where "for three days and nights he labored incessantly, and then, being utterly unable to continue at work, was sent back to Philadelphia, suffering from a nearly fatal attack of typhoid".
In 1863, his election as surgeon to the Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia, introduced him again to major surgery, especially traumatic major surgery. He resigned from the Episcopal Hospital, when, in 1884, he was elected surgeon to the Pennsylvania Hospital, a position which he held until 1896. He served also for a number of years as surgeon to St. Joseph's Hospital. He was the type of man who took personal interest in the administration of the institutions with which he was connected. Elected a fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia in 1858, he served faithfully as secretary from 1862 to 1877. In 1885 he was elected vice-president of the college. He also served as Metter Lecturer, being the first to hold this post. His Lectures on Inflammation Delivered before the College of Physicians of Philadelphia under the Bequest of Dr. Metter were published in book form in 1865. He also gave the second series, published under the title Notes on Fractures of the Upper Extremity (1867).
His published works include A Treatise on Fractures (1859), a translation of J. F. Malgaigne's work, A Manual of Minor Surgery (1863), and A Hand-book of Operative Surgery (1870). He contributed to John Ashhurst's International Encyclopaedia of Surgery the articles entitled "Poisoned Wounds" and "Injuries to Bones" (the latter, a monograph of 260 pages); and to J. M. Keating's Cyclopaedia of the Diseases of Children the chapters entitled "Colotomy" and "Fractures and Dislocations. " In 1881 he edited an American edition of Timothy Holmes's System of Surgery. He was also responsible for three editions of The Philadelphia Medical Register and Directory (1868, 1871, 1873). He was recognized as an expert in medico-legal cases, and often served as expert witness. His last days were saddened by being forced to give up all active surgical work as the result of an infection of his finger, acquired in the course of his professional duties (1896). He died on May 21, 1907.
