Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Student's Handbook of the Surgery of the Alimentary Canal: Being an Abridged and Amended Edition of the Author's Treatise on the Same Subject
Tn}: present work is an abridged and amended edition of my Treatise on the same subject published in 1896. So far as space would permit, and commensurate with the object in view of placing the material at my disposal in a form that would commend itself alike to the student and general practitioner, I have endeavoured to introduce such additional information on the subject as has been gleaned through personal experience during the last four years. The abridgment has been mainly effected by the elimina tion of detailed reports of illustrative cases and of many references, both of which, while they materially assist in elucidating and amplifying the text, tend to add very much to the bulk and expense of a book.
