Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Evolution of Surgery
In the year 1883 I became a house surgeon at the old Manchester Royal Infirmary, and in 1908 we saw that building closed for ever. With some personal bias in favour of such land-marks I have tried therefore by comparing the registers of these t'wo dates - exactly a quarter of a century apart - to learn what the gain has been in our hospital alone - the gain in saving of life, in saving of limb, in saving of suffering, and in the mere economic saving of disablement from ill-health which bears so heavily upon our bread winners.
