A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thb first edition of these lectures was published, soon after their delivery, at the express request of some who had read them as they appeared at intervals in the weekly journals, and by many others yrho desired to have them gathered into a separate form. The first edition, in which I had the kindly and liberal help of my personal friends. Dr. Daldy and Mr. Durham, at that time Demonstrator of Anatomy at Guy s Hospital, was soon out of print. It was my intention at that time to have enlarged the volume by additional matter derived from other and different surgical diseases, but all having the same purpose in view namely, to show how largely we are indebted for our professional success in surgical practice to the recuperative power of Nature, especially when helped by the suggestions of a thoughtfid surgeon. But, on carefully scrutinizing the materials, I foresaw what appeared to be insuperable difficulties; and since then, from one cause or another, I have allowed the reappearance of these lectures to be from time to time deferred. A s, however, I have lately been assured, on repeated occasions, that a second edition would be welcome and useful to many, I have submitted the lectures to the careful and judicious editorial guidance of Mr. Jacobson, who has conferred on me a great obligation for the work he has now so well accomplished, with the slight aid of my own occasional assistance and supervision. It will give me great pleasure and satisfaction to know that the republication of these lectures will be useful to the students at Guy s Hospital, where I emphatically taught by lectures, and demonstrated clinically in my wards, the therapeutic value of mechanical and physiological rest in surgery. 10 Nsw Bboid Stbut, Stpferhber !,

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
