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 ma}^ be 

 nailed 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. 



It is full of common sense, and may be safely 

 taken as a guide in the matters of which it treats. 

 It would be hard to point out all the excellences of 

 (phis bodk. We can heartily recommend it to students 

 and to practitioners of surgery. — -American Jour- 

 nal of the Medicdl Sciences. 



We do not know of any other work which'would 

 he of greater value to the student in connection with 

 feis lectures in this department. — Buffalo Medical 

 and Surgical Journal. 



The work is excellent. The student ot practi- 



tioner who follows it intelligently cannot easily go 

 astray. — Journal American Medical Assdn. 



We cannot speak too highly of the volume under 

 review. — Canada Med. and Surg. Jour. 



The space devoted to fractures and dislocations 

 —by far (he most difficult and Responsible part of 

 surgery — is ample, and we notice many new illustra- 

 tions explanatory of the text. — North Carolina 

 Medical Journal. 



It is one of the most valuable of the works of its 

 kind. — New Orleans Med. and Surg. Jour.
