Synopsis
Excerpt from A Review of Silver Sutures in Surgery: An Anniversary Discourse Before the New York Academy of Medicine
In 1853, being obliged by ill health to leave Montgomery, Alabama, Dr. S. Gave Dr. Bozeman of that place a partnership in business,* and indoctrinated him in my peculiar method of operating for vesico-vaginal fistula, instructing him in my various modes of using silver wire as a suture, not only in this class of affections, but in general surgery. Not understanding its principle of action, and, therefore, failing in its practical application, he was quite disheartened with his ill success, when by mere accident he fell upon a plan of fastening the wire, and so modifying my method, that in awkward or inexperienced hands it became easier of application. Instead of passing the wires through the leaden bars on each side of the fistula, he passed them through a concave disc or 'but ton' which rests upon the surface of the parts to be united.
