PRESS OPINION
"This is a haudy volume bound in flexible leather aud small enough to go into an overcoa
pocket. It is meant for the general practitioner who does not refuse his services in surgical capacity
though he has not made a specialty of that branch of practice. Accordingly the book is intensely
practical; it tells the methods of administering anesthetics, of stopping hemorrhagss, of preparing
material, and finally of operating that the author has fonnd most serviceable in his own practice.
The dogmatic character of some directions is fully made up for by the clearness gained; references
to literature are omitted because of the very aim of the book to give one or at most two methods
of operating and no more. Most of the commoner operations are included in the scope of the book
from tracheotomy and a circumcision to an operation for hernia or laparotomj' for appendicitis. The
treatment of fractures and dislocations is allotted sufficient space. The illustrations arc good. We
recommend the book as fulfilling the purpose of the writer, to furnish a manual of ready assistance in
preparing for an emergency operation. The Medical Record. New York.
With 384 illustrations, some of which are printed in Colors, 12mo., 692 pages. Full Limp
Leather. Gilt Edges. Rounded Corners, $3.50 net.
