    PKEFACE. The preparation of this little work was sug- gested to the author by the Surgeon-General. It was hastily written to supply an existing want. Had it been otherwise, more time would have been given to its composition, and perhaps a more complete work would have been the result. It is hoped, however, that it will prove useful to surgeons as well as at- tendants, and that it will be found a material aid in the laborious duties of the Medical Staff in hospitals and in the field. J. J. Woodward, Assistant Surgeon U.S.A. Washington, Sept. 10, 1862.
