HOSPITAL EFFICIENCY 



" Hornsby and Schmidt " tells you just exactly how to plan, construct, equip, 

 and manage a hospital in all its departments, giving you every detail. It gives 

 you exact data regarding heating, ventilating, plumbing, refrigerating, etc. — and 

 the costs. It tells you how to equip a modern hospital with modern appliances. 

 It tells you what you need in the operating room, the wards, the private rooms, 

 the dining room, the kitchen — every division of hospital housekeeping. It gives 

 you the duties of the directors, the superintendent, the various staffs, their relations 

 to each other. It tells you all about nurses' training-schools — their management, 

 curriculum, rules, regulations, etc. It gives you hundreds of valuable points on 

 the business management of hospitals — large and small.

" To me the book is invaluable. I have a copy on my desk and scarcely a day passes 

 but what I consult it and find what I want."

JUST READY 



This is a complete work on this subject. You get the history of local 

 anesthesia, a chapter on nerves and sensation, giving particular attention to pain 

 — what it is and its psychic control. Then comes a chapter on osmosis and 

 diffusion. Each local anesthetic is taken up in detail, giving very special atten- 

 tion to cocain and novocain, pointing out the action on the nervous system, the 

 value of adrenalin, paralysis caused by cocain anesthesia, control of toxicity. 

 You get Crile's method of administering adrenalin and salt solution, the exact 

 way to produce the intradermal wheal, to pinch the flesh for the insertion of the 

 needle — all shown ^o\x step by step. You get. full discussions of paraneural, 

 intraneural, and spinal analgesia, intravenous and intra-arterial anesthesia, and 

 Hackenbuck's regional anesthesia by circumferential injections. You get indica- 

 tions, contraindications, an article on anoci-association, with Crile's technic for 

 producing anesthesia. Then the production of local anesthesia in the various 

 regions is taken up in detail. Spinal analgesia and epidural injections are con- 

 sidered in a monogragh of 45 pages. There is a large section on dental anesthesia.
