Book Description

Excerpt from Gun-Shot Wounds of the Small Intestines No attempt will be made to review the great question of penetrating gun - shot wounds of the abdomen, which would lead me beyond the scope Of the paper. Nothing but a fair 'recital of the history of the experiments, with some application wof the conclusions to be drawn therefrom, will be undertaken. With this intent in View, there will be presented to you the accompanying phenomena, the manner of treatment and results of thirty - seven intentional gun-shot wounds of the abdomen, confining my attention entirely to my own Observations, and exhibiting to you such specimens as I have been able to pre sewe, taken from the animals; both of those which died, and of those which were sacrificed, after recovery, to obtain the specimen. Experiments of like nature have been made upon animals by very many surgeons, previous to the application of their convictions of the necessity of certain procedures to relieve disease or the effects of injury on the human body.
