Excerpt from A Manual of Surgery, For: Students and Physicians The manuscript of the fifth edition of this manual was practically completed by Dr. Stewart at the time of his death. His revision included radical changes in and many additions to those portions dealing with surgical technic, surgical infection and disinfection, wounds, effects of heat and cold, shock, plastic operations, blood transfusion, fractures, and amputations; also the bones, joints, nerves, chest, intestines, rectum, kidney and bladder. He wrote a new chapter on unnecessary abdominal section and rewrote the sections on the abdomen, stomach, operations on the stomach, intestines, intestinal obstruction, biliary passages and the pancreas. At the suggestion of Dr. Stewart, a study of military surgery was begun in 1915 with service in the French army and continued until my discharge from the American army in 1919. The results of this military experience have been incorporated in this edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
