Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise Upon Penetrating Wounds of the Chest
In referring to The Medical and Surgical His tory of the British Army, I take the Opportunity to remark that, whatever defects may, perhaps unavoidably, have obtained in the Army Medical Department, this History is a practical proof that great individual talent and industry are to be found among my military professional brethren and I firmly believe that, if the advice of the members of the Army Medical Department had been even in part followed, and not, as it was in many instances, entirely ignored, the extent of the Bulgarian and of the Crimean disasters would have been much diminished.
