Excerpt from A d104-Book on Minor Surgery During the last decade while surgery has shared in the great advance made by all the sciences, one of its branches, minor surgery, has far outstripped the others. This has been caused by a great number of factors. The industrial clinic, the workers compensation insurance, the use of local anesthesia, and the realization of the far-reaching results and complications of poorly and improperly treated minor injuries have been responsible for the prodigious strides of this branch. The disfiguring scars of burns, the stiff fingers, due to neglected tendon sheath infections, and other such conditions so important to the indi vidual both socially and economically have left their indelible imprint upon all surgeons, stimulating them to a keener interest in this formerly unimportant division of surgery. To give detailed description of the widely different methods of treating the same surgical condition would fill many volumes, and would fall far beyond the scope of this book. In the chapters which follow an attempt has been made to give those surgical procedures which are simple and efficient. In their selection it has always been borne in mind that while complicated treatments may yield better results in the hands of their originators, complete failure has often met the, attempts of those not skilled in the involved technic. A work on Surgery has long since ceased to be the product of an indi vidual. We, therefore, extend our heartiest thanks to other authors, our predecessors and teachers; and for much help to Doctors G. M. Phelps and Ralph Colp, and also to Grace Adams and Emma Renick.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Minor Surgery, Including Bandaging The author has paid special attention to the aseptic and anti septic methods of treating wounds, methods which originated within the past few years and have brought indescribable benefit to humanity. The details of this important subject are given and in every way possible the reader is urged to follow certain rules in a way that we hope will be considered as characterized by clearness and simplicity. No bibliography has been given and literary references have been largely omitted. This has been done purely for the sake of simplicity and because the book represents the result of sev eral years of considerable experience in dispensaries, hospital practice and in college work. My grateful acknowledgments are due to Dr. W. E. Trego, Professor of Operative Surgery in the Cleveland Homoeopathic Medical College, for writing the chapter on Bandaging.

Excerpt from A Chapter in Minor Surgery From the countless host of appliances in surgery, he has attempted to select those which his own experience and that of his friends among the older and more emi nent members of the profession can recommend as most useful. It has been his earnest endeavor, as a teacher in sur gery, to impress upon his students the fact that it would be through a practical knowledge of the little things of their profession that they would soonest reach the great result - success. The fact that he has been constrained to offer these pages in an unfinished form, in response to a demand from a large number of private students, has encouraged him to believe his efforts have not been fruitless.
