Excerpt from Antiseptic Surgery: The Principles, Modes of Application, and Results of the Lister Dressing
The first edition of this book was published not long ago, and now the progress of the antiseptic method is so well known that there is no need of long preliminaries to tell how profoundly it has modified, even transformed, the surgical practice of our time.
The reception with which it has met has undoubtedly varied: even in England it has difficulty in acquiring the position which is its due; in Denmark it reigns supreme; in Germany it has its enthusiasts, since it has undergone changes; in Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Russia, Italy, and America, we meet eminent representatives of Listerian sur gery and, indeed, we believe there is hardly a country where there are not some ardent disciples who proclaim its merits.

Excerpt from Antiseptic Surgery: The Principles, Modes of Application, and Results of the Lister Dressing
Although for more than a decade it has been hardly possible to glance through a medical journal without seeing something concerning the Lister method, there are comparatively few medical men in this country who have a sufficiently good knowledge of this modern system of treating wounds to enable them to apply it with essential accuracy. The result is that it is either not used at all by most surgeons, or else is incorrectly employed with disappointing results, which are not fairly attributable to the method. This condition of affairs is probably largely due to the fact that there has been no low-priced treatise on the subject in the English language, from which one could acquire the necessary information with regard to the principles, practice, and results of Antiseptic Surgery. With the desire of supplying my fellow practitioners in America with such a work, and thus enabling them to experience the benefits of a method which will do more than any other to lead their surgical patients to recovery without delay, danger, or discomfort, I have translated this work of an eminent French surgeon. Its careful perusal will, I believe, make it plain, not only that the Listerian theory is rational and its practice wonderfully satisfactory, but also that its application is neither difficult, nor seriously expensive.
