About This Book

A concise, practical manual that introduces the principles and qualifications of surgery through short colloquies, then proceeds to anatomy and the principal classes of conditions addressed by manual intervention. It explains principal surgical actions—reuniting, dividing, excising, and supplying lacking parts—reviews common instruments and general practice, and offers step‑by‑step treatments for wounds, tumours, ulcers, gunshot injuries, venereal disorders, scurvy, fractures, and dislocations. The volume closes with detailed guidance on dressings and bandages and a chirurgical dispensatory describing preparation of the medicinal compounds most used in surgical practice.
