Book Description

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on Abdominal Surgery and Other Subjects The volume comprises lectures on Abdominal Surgery, con taining the results of the author's vast experience in this depart ment; a paper on The Treatment of Gun-shot Wounds of the Small Intestines, based upon a series of experiments on dogs; it also contains short clinical lectures upon almost every subject in Surgery. From ten to twenty patients were present for treatment at each clinic, consequently only the important practical facts could be dwelt upon - the theoretical discussion being reserved for the three didactic lectures which the author delivered each week. In order to illustrate the amount of work which had to be per formed during one session, the stenographic report of one entire clinic has been added as an appendix. Most of the cases considered were referred to the clinic by alumni of the college. Their initials and addresses have been preserved for the purpose of identification.
