Excerpt from Conditions Underlying the Infection of Wounds That the presence of certain kinds of bacteria is an essential condi tion of wound infection is a fact so well established, and so generally recognized, that no discussion as to this point is likely to arise in this assembly. The practical results of the application of this doctrine to the management of wounds are the most eloquent testimony to its life saving truth. The recognition of this truth, even before its complete demonstration, and the introduction of methods of wound treatment based upon it, will remain the immortal merit of Lister, even although every detail of his treatment be replaced by measures found by riper experience to be better suited to the purpose. The simple conception which was the basis of early antiseptic proced ures in surgery - that a wound to which bacteria gain access becomes infected in the same way as a sterilized infusion of meat undergoes putrefaction when a single suitable germ enters - has been greatly modified. Furthermore, it is found that the traumatic infections pre sent their own peculiar problems, which must be studied by them selves, and cannot be solved by analogies drawn from observations of other specific infections, such as anthrax and the septicaemias of the lower animfls. The study of wound infections involves the considera tion of many varying and often complicated factors, relating both to the agents of infection and to the individual exposed to infection. Without consuming time with any historical review, I shall proceed at once to indicate some of the questions which are of especial import ance, and which may be profitably considered in this discussion.

Excerpt from Wound Infections: And Some New Methods for the Study of the Various Factors, Which Come Into Consideration, in Their Treatment There are a number of quite elementary problems which must be solved before we can arrive at any really effective treatment of wound infections. A very brief consideration of the facts will bring us face to face with the questions to which we have to find an answer. In this war practically every wound is heavily infected. The chain of cause and consequence seems to be as follows: The clothes and skin of the soldier on war service become contaminated with all manner of filth containing pathogenic organisms and spores; the projectile takes these in with it, and it implants them far in - in point of fact, far beyond the reach of any prophylactic applications of antiseptics.

Excerpt from Wounds of Animals and Their Treatment Fortunately, nowadays, the role played by Nature in the repair of wounded' tissues is more nearly realized than in the past, and we, in common with our sister profession, have learnt that our earlier efforts may have been better in intention than in actual fact. In other words, we realize that we are unable by means of external applications to heal a wound; but that, having ascertained the method that Nature herself adopts to secure this end, we may assist her when circumstances arise which may delay or circumvent her object. Unfortunately, in animals, even were a wound known to be aseptic at its commencement, we should have no opportunity of maintaining this condition. Even with the best possible surroundings animals cannot be kept as clean as the average human being; their bedding and their stables or kennels are always infected, and so secondary infection is quite unavoidable.

Excerpt from Bipp Treatment of War Wounds The best manner of accomplishing these ends seemed to be by limiting the informa tion offered to what I knew, and by rejecting any other matter, however interesting it might be. The book is an account of our method of Wound Treatment, and it is so simple that a clever surgeon is unnecessary for the achieve ment of the best results, though a careful one is essential.

Excerpt from The Treatment of Wounds: Its Principles and Practice, General and Special During the period which has elapsed since the publication of that book the advances that have been made in the knowledge of the essential agents in most disturbances of wound-healing, and of the best methods of preventing or modifying the activity of these agents, and the accumulation of experience in dealing successfully with wounds of regions and organs that had hitherto been considered out of the limit of prudent interference, have been such as to make it necessary for the author practically to write a new book in an effort to present the present status of surgery in this most important depart ment.

Excerpt from The Treatment of War Wounds The huge numbers in the contending armies cause sudden flooding of the hospitals, especially those near the front, with enormous numbers of the wounded after each drive or assault. Thus a hospital with 300 or 400 beds may suddenly be overwhelmed by 1000 or more cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Wound Treatment The treatment of wounds in the hands of the average veterinarian has not improved as much in the last dec ade as have other branches of purely operative surgery. A score of years ago, few veterinarians expected that wounds made in the course of their operations could be healed without infection. Now, the more successful practitioners reproach themselves if a wound of their own making develops sepsis. The treatment of acci dental wounds, on the other hand, is much the same now in the practice of most veterinarians as it was a double decade ago - that is, they are treated by washes, ointments, or dusting powders, as the inclina tion of the practitioner may direct, and seldom is a real conscious e ort made to render them germ-free, suture them up, and procure healing by first intention without the development of sepsis. This average of conditions is not true of the work of all, and it is for the purpose of placing the methods used by a number of the most successful practitioners in the hands of the whole profession that this little volume has been issued. It comprises the better articles on the use of antiseptics, suturing and treatment of wounds in gen eral, that have appeared in the american journal OF veterinary medicine during the past four or five years. The editor is convinced that the treatments herein given are practical for the average practitioner, and their care ful study will prove of much value to him.
