Book Description

Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Modern Surgery I must thank Dr. Silver for his kindness in correcting many of the proof-sheets in my absence; and, last1y, I must acknowledge my obliga tions to my friend Mr. John Wood, now Professor of Surgery in King's College, London, for the careful revision of the whole o'k, .and for an unusual share of help which he has rendered me whilst I have been prostrated by illness, and long absent on the Continent. My readers will feel increased confidence in a work sanctioned by a surgeon of such consummate anatomical knowledge and dexterity in surgical manipulation.
