Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Guide to the Administration of Anaesthetics
While teaching the practical administration of anaesthetics I have constantly been asked to recommend a small book on the subject 5 for at present the average student neglects the larger ones, and either reads nothing at all, or perhaps glances through the article on Anaesthetics in some text book on Surgery. It is with the object of supplying all the essential points in as small a form as possible, and not with any idea of rivalling the larger manuals by Dr. Hewitt and Dr. Dudley Buxton, that I have written this little book, in the hope that it may meet the needs of students, and be read by them during the period in which they receive their practical instruction in this branch of medical practice. My best thanks are due to Dr. Dakin and Mr. Arthur Durand for very kindly drawing the illustrations for me; to Dr. Silk, Dr. Dudley Buxton, Mr. Carter Braine, Mr. Paterson, and Messrs. Mayer Meltzer, Barth Co., and Montague, for the use of blocks illustrating apparatus, etc.; and to Mr. William Turner and Mr. Harvey Hilliard for help with the reading of proof sheets, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
