Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Surgery, Vol. 1The aim, of this book is to place before the reader the more practical issues of Surgery, from the standpoint of the General Surgeon. Theoretical considerations are detailed only when of importance in diagnosis or treatment. Surgery, of late years, has become amazingly complex, and it is felt that a need has arisen for simplification, where this is possible. Hence several of the more classical methods of treatment are omitted or merely referred to, and those alone retained which bear the hall-mark of practical utility.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
