Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medical and Surgical Report of the Presbyterian Hospital in the City of New York, Vol. 4: January, 1900
In another case I have performed the Operation for the cure Of ascites, and though the case is Of no value in forming an estimate Of the worth Of the method, I think it is right to report it, as the intro duoer of a new Operation should be expected to offer the Whole Of his experience concerning it. Dr. Drummond's and Mr. Morison's first case was a woman, aged forty-two. Early in 1893, Swelling Of her feet and legs was noticed. A few months later the abdomen became distended with fluid. Between May and August, paracentesis abdominalis was performed forty-eight times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
