![PRACTICAL SURGERY. By J. EWING ]»IBARS, m.D., Lecturer on Practical Surgery and Demonstrator of Surgery in Jefferson Medical College; Professor of Anatomy and Clinical Surgery in the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery, etc. With 490 Illustrations. Second edition, revised and enlarged. 794 pp, 12mo. PRICE. IN UNITED STATES AND CANADA : CLOTH, $3.00. DISCOUNT, 20 PER CENT., MAKING IT, NET. $2.40; POSTAGE, 20 CENTS EXTRA. GREAT BRITAIN, 13s. FRANCE, 18 fr. 75. Mears' Practical Surgery includes chapters on Surgical Dress- ings, Bandaging, Fractures, Dislocations, Ligature of Arteries, Amputa- tions, Excisions of Bones and Joints. This work gives a complete account of the methods of antiseptic surgery. The dif- ferent agents used in antiseptic dressing, their methods of preparation, and their application in the treatment of wounds are fully despribed. With this Avork as a guide it is possible for ever}'^ surgeon to practice antiseptic surger3^ The great advances made in the science and art of surgery' are largely due to the introduction of anti- septic methods of wound treatment, and it is incumbent upon every progressive sur- geon to employ them. An examination of this work will show that it is thoroughly s^^stematic in its i)]au, so that it is not onl}^ useful to the practitioner, who may be called upon to perform operations, but of great A'alue to the student in his work in the surgical room, where he is required to appl^y bandages and fracture dressings, and to perform operations upon the cadaver. The experience of the author, derived from many 3'ears' service as a teacher (private and public) and practitioner, has enabled him to present the topics discussed in such a manner as to fully meet the needs of both prac- titioners and students. It is full of common sense, and may be safely [ taken as a guide in the matters of which it treats, i It would be hard to point out all the excellences of ! this book. We can heartily recommend it to students j and to practitioners of surgery.—Americiin your- nal 0/ the Medical Sciences. We do not know of any other work which would be of greater value to the student in connection with his lectures in this department—Buffalo Medical ' and Surgical yoitrnal. The work is excellent. The student or practi- tioner who follows it intelligently cannot easily g» astray.—yournal American Medical Asso'n. We cannot speak too highly of the volume under review.— Canada Med. and Surg. your. The space devoted to fractures and dislocations —by far the most difficult and responsible part of surgery—is ample, and we notice many new illustra- tions explanatory of the te.xt.—North Carolina Medical yoitrnal. It is one of the most valuable of the works of its kind.—Ne-w Orleans Med. and Surg. your.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21207501_0645.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
