ORVILLE HORWITZ, 	 I THE FELLOW-STUDENT, THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATE, AND THE TRUSTED FRIEND OF THE AUTHOR. • r PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION THE progress of surgery in every department is one of the most notable phenomena of the present day. The third edition of this book was published in too°, but numerous improvements, discoveries, and observations made since that date render a new edition necessary. The entire book has been revised and much new matter has been added. The author regrets that in the section on spinal anesthesia he failed to record the observation from which the method really springs. This observa-tion was made by Dr. J. Leonard Corning, of New York, in 1885 (" N. Y. Med. Jour.," Oct. 31, 1885). He discovered that cocain injected between the spines of the eleventh and twelfth dorsal vertebra' produced analgesia of the limbs. The author wishes to record his gratitude to the late Mr. T. F. Dagney, of the firm of W. B. Saunders and Co., for generous and invaluable aid during the course of many months, and, further, to express his grief and sense of personal loss at the untimely death of this brilliant and lovable young man. 2045 WALNI'T STK VET, P II I LA DELPHIA, September, 1903. III PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION Trnc aim of this Manual is to present in clear terms and in concise form the fundamental principles, the chief operations, and the accepted methods of modern surgery. The work seeks to stand between the complete but cumbrous text-book and the incomplete but concentrated compend. Obsolete and unessential methods have been excluded in favor of the living and the essential. There has been no attempt to exploit fanciful theories nor to defend unprovable hypotheses, but rather the effort has been to present the subject in a form useful alike to the student and to the busy practitioner. The opening chapter is devoted to Bacteriology because the author pro-foundly believes that without some knowledge of the vital principles of this branch of science the vast importance of its truths will be ill-appreciated, and there will be inevitable failure in the application of aseptic and antiseptic methods. Ophthalmology, gynecology, rhinology, otology, and laryngology have not been considered, because of the obvious fact that in the advanced state of specialized science only the specie/Hsi is competent to write upon each of these bra itches. In Orthopedic Surgery are discussed those conditions which must in the very nature of things often be cared for by the surgeon or the general prac-titioner (such as hip-joint disease, club-foot, Pott's disease of the spine, flat-foot, etc.). The limited space at command precluded the introduction of a special division on diseases of the female breast. A large amount of space has been devoted to Fractures and Dislocations, the enormous practical im-portance of these subjects calling for their full discussion. Operative Sur-gery is considered in separate sections, the most important procedures being fully described, giving also the instruments necessary, and the positions as-sumed by patient and operator. This method has been adopted to fit the work for use in surgical laboratories. Many systems, manuals, monographs, lectures, and journal articles have been consulted, and credit has been given in the text for statements and quota-tions. Special acknowledgment is due to the .,lmerican Text-Book of Surgery, edited by Keen and White; to the surgical works of Ashhurst, Agnew, the eider Gross, Dupla), and Reclus, Esmarrh, Albert, Koenig, Wyeth, and Bryant; to the Manual of Surgery, edited by Treves; to the International Encyclopredia of Surgery, edited by Ashhurst; to the Surgical Pathology of BiBroth and of Bowlby; to the Diagnosis of A. Pearce Gould; to the Surgical Dictionary of Heath; to the Rest and Pain of Hilton; to the works on opera-tive surgery of Barker, Jacobson, Treves, Stephen Smith, and Joseph Bell; to the Minor Surgery of Wharton; to the dictionary of Foster and of Gould; to the Principles of Surgery of Senn; to the orthopedic writings of Sayre; II 12 	 Preface to the First Edition to the work on Diseases of the }If ale Generative Organs of Jacobson; to the System o/ Genito-urinary Diseases, edited by Morrow; and to the treatises on Fractures and Pislocations of Sir Astley Cooper, Malgaigne, Hamilton, Stim-son, and T. Pickering Pick. The Author returns his thanks to the numerous writers who courteously authorized the reproduction of special illustrations, and particularly to Pro-fessors Keen and White for their free permission to draw upon the American Text-Book aj Surgery, from which a number of pictures have been taken, distinctively those referring to Bandaging; to Mr. John Vansant for the great amount of labor so ably and cheerfully performed; and to Dr. Howard Dehoney for the preparation of the Index.
