Présentation de l'éditeur
The flattering reception of the second edition, and the requests of many interested friends that a third be written, prompted me about four years ago to begin tlie task. But the frequent and somewhat extended interruptions begotten of the demands of hfe sactivities, together with the determination to extend the scope and size of the work, have unexpectedly delayed its publication. Besides, the rapid advance in the last few years of surgical endeavor has greatly increased the amount and complicated the character of the labor required for the purpose. The general policy of arrangement of the work is maintained, and, as in the past, frequent references are made to the labors and sayings of others, to all of which credit is given in the text or in the index. Special effort is made to eliminate from the faces of the illustrations all evidences suggestive of commercial thrift. Much is gained in this respect by the introduction of half-tone groups of instruments and by the gracious co-operation of Mr. Ford. An index of illustrations, in which due credit is given to all, is introduced. The operations peculiar to the female sex, and ef the eye and ear, are omitted in this, as in the preceding editions, and for similar reasons. The valuable services of Professors George D. Stewart and William C. Lusk, in connection with proof reading and indexing, are especially valuable, and are gratefully acknowledged. The artists, Messrs. Mason (photographer to Bellevue Hospital) andS enior, vied with each other in their efforts to produce proper illustrative effects. In conclusion, it is hoped and believed that the reader will find in the following pages sufiicient of interest and importance to justify the use of the time employed by himself and the author in their consideration.

About the Publisher
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.
