Excerpt from A Text-Book of Minor Surgery

In preparing this "Minor Surgery," it has been my purpose to apply to the less serious, every-day problems of surgical practise the new knowledge which the discoveries of the last twenty-five years have revealed. During this period the advances in diagnosis and treatment have rendered necessary a new surgical literature, and many excellent text-books have appeared, in one, two, and four volumes. In these the more serious surgical conditions are exhaustively discussed, while the treatment of the lesser ailments - the minor surgery which forms the bulk of surgical practise - is condensed into a chapter or two, in which methods of treatment long since outgrown still find their lace. Nor is the importance of minor surgery recognized in the curriculum of our medical schools.

And yet this neglected field of minor surgery is the only one into which the average practitioner will ever enter, and is also the one in which most surgeons will find the majority of their patients. What winder then that the physician, untaught and unread in minor surgery fails to achieve good results, and that more bad surgery is performed upon the hand than upon the organs of the abdomen?

Impressed by the need of a text-book which describes in detail I he manifold lesser accidents and surgical diseases which the general practitioner is called upon to treat, I commenced eight years ago the preparation of such a book. It has been rewritten several times, until hardly a page of the original manuscript remains; and it appears now in its development, somewhat larger, but the same in purpose as when it was first conceived.
