Excerpt from Principles of Surgery
The purpose in writing this book has been to put the fundamental facts before the student and the physician in a simple and logical way, and thereby to lay a foundation upon which an intelligent understanding of the immense details of practical work may be built. While the title of the book is "Principles of Surgery," its real significance would possibly be more correctly expressed by the single word "Principles"; for while the text presents the facts upon which surgical diagnosis and treatment rest, it at the same time covers elemental teachings which as surely concern every other branch of medical practice, especially inasmuch as the majority of surgical cases must come at first into the hands of the practitioner of medicine.
I desire to express my especial thanks to Dr. William M. McCabe for permission to make illustrations from the cases in the Nashville City Hospital, to Dr. James Ewing who placed at my disposal the Pathological Department of Cornell University, and to Dr. Herman Spitz for making microphotographs.
