The object of this handbook is to present a concise account of the 

 chief chemical antiseptics which have been found useful for surgical pur- 

 poses during the present war. The unparalleled severity and frequency 

 of wound infection found there has led to considerable advances in our 

 knowledge of these antiseptics, and of methods for their successful em- 

 ployment as found in Dr. Dakin's recent broad experience on the various 

 European war fronts. This work will, therefore, prove of invaluable 

 use to surgeons and others in this country who are now taking up mili- 

 tary or industrial duties connected with the care of the wounded. 



The current European practise is here, lor the first time, collected 

 into concrete condensed form. The book contains results of much of 

 the investigation carried out under the direction of the British Medical 

 Research Committee. 



It also presents, for the first time, unique methods of using certain 

 disinfectants for the sterilization of drinking water and the disinfection 

 of hospital ships, together with simple apparatus invented by Dr. Dakin 

 and successfully used bv him under actual war conditions with the French 

 and British Army Medical Services.
