MEARS' PRACTICAL SURGERY includes chapters on Surgical Dress- 

 ings, Bandaging, Fractures, Dislocations, Ligature of Arteries, Amputa- 

 tions, Excisions of Bones and Joints. This 

 work gives- a complete account of the 

 methods of antiseptic surgery. The dif- 

 ferent agents used in antiseptic dressing, 

 their methods of preparation, and their 

 application in the treatment of wounds are 

 fully described. With this work as a guide 

 it is possible for every surgeon to practice 

 antiseptic surgery. The great advances 

 made in the science and art of surgery are 

 largely due to the introduction of anti- 

 septic methods of wound treatment, and it 

 is incumbent upon every progressive sur- 

 geon to employ them. 



An examination of this work will 

 show that it is thoroughly systematic in 



its plan, so that it is not only useful to the practitioner, who may be 

 called upon to perform operations, but of great value to the student in 

 his work in the surgical room, where he is required to apply bandages 

 and fracture dressings, and to perform operations upon the cadaver. The 

 experience of the author, derived from many years' service as a teacher 

 (private and public) and practitioner, has enabled him to present the 

 topics discussed in such a manner as to fully meet the needs of both prac- 

 titioners and students.
