Excerpt from Outlines of General and Surgical Nursing No attempt has been made to present in this little book, an exhaustive series of outlines, but to briefly and concisely give the essentials, thus firmly impressing the main principles or skeleton, as it were, of the various subjects.

Excerpt from Surgical and Gynæcological Nursing The task of preparing a text-book on surgical and gynaec logical nursing has been approached with considerable hesitation and, it is believed, with a full appreciation of the difficulties to be encountered and the obstacles to be, if possible, surmounted. The responsibility of deciding as to the relative importance to the nurse of theory as opposed to practice and the proportion Of such a book that should be devoted to each has proved no light one. Nor has the desire to present all theory from the viewpoint of its practical application seemed easy of fulfilment.

Excerpt from A Series of Lectures on Surgical Nursing and Hospital Technic I desire to express my indebtedness to the many authors whose names appear in the various bibliographies of this volume. Their wide experience as surgeons has been of great assistance to me in its preparation. To those of the profession whose names appear in the text I am under personal obligations because of their interest in the work. In some instances they have donated their valuable time in writing their suggestions on the various subjects on which they are authorities.

Excerpt from Principles of Surgical Nursing: A Guide to Modern Surgical Technic The recovery of a patient undergoing an operation is dependent to a large extent upon the technique that is employed and observed during the entire surgical procedure. It is by reason of the high development of present-day surgical technique that many of the operations now under taken result in a low mortality, whereas, the same operations a few years ago either produced a high mortality or were not attempted. Further more, many procedures are now possible which formerly were not to be considered, because a fatal ending invariably resulted by reason of infection.

Excerpt from Surgical and War Nursing Other professions have their national and state as sociations, and so have the nurses. They are alive to the great benefit to be derived from reading papers and exchanging views. They have their State Board of Examiners, and in many states have succeeded in get ting laws passed which undoubtedly redound to the good of the profession.

Excerpt from Surgical Nursing in War The surgical literature of the Great War already includes many scores of valuable and illuminating articles contributed to various periodicals, and a few books. From these voluminous sources, supple mented by letters from the front, it has been thought desirable to collect the lessons and descriptions which are of vital import, that they may be avail able for ready reference by those who contemplate joining the nursing corps of Military Hospitals (or have already done so), as their time is of necessity too limited for the wide reading involved. Useful suggestions have been received from those who have been personally in service at the front, and indebted ness is hereby acknowledged to the valuable work of Major Hull - Surgery in War - which has been freely consulted and quoted in regard to descriptions of methods practised by members of the Royal Army Medical Corps of Great Britain.

Excerpt from Surgical Nursing and Technique a Book for Nurses, Dressers, House Surgeons, Etc Some small Share in awakening authorities to this crying injustice, and in the amelioration we see coming to the nursing profession in both directions. The Short chapter on nursing in military hospitals has been omitted, as it only dealt in the barest and most perfunctory method with the subject, and no useful purpose would be served by retaining it now. Plates Of the tetanus bacillus and the Bacillus perfringens, which gained such an unenviable notoriety during the war, with short descriptions of them, have been added. Inasmuch as the treatment of the septic wounds of war made such enormous advances, we may expect in the future a great improvement in the treatment of the septic wounds of peace, such as arise from accidents of various kinds, and the bearing of aseptic technique upon these, derived from the war's experience, has been emphasized on many occasions in this edition. I have also introduced the latest informa tion on wound shock, which engaged the attention Of so many investigators during the war, and have drawn attention to its bearing on the incidence and treatment of operative shock and shock following the accidents of civil life. A few modern instruments have been intro duced, and plates of those going or gone out of use have been omitted, and the book has been generally brought up to date. The war has, as might have been expected, furnished great opportunities for surgery, and surgeons and nurses alike will revert to the practice Of civil surgery better equipped in many particulars for the exercise of their calling. I have endeavoured to in dicate these in the present edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
