Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Surgical Treatment of the Diseases of Infancy and Childhood
Tin second edition of this book has been so rapidly called for, that I have not been able to make those changes in its main features which advancing experience always introduces into practical surgical works. The bulk of the succeeding chapters, therefore, will be found to be in substance the same as those of the first edition. I have, however, endeavoured to avail myself of some of the suggestions of my critics for the improvement of this book as a practical guide to children's surgery. Thus, having found that the omission of orthopaedic surgery is considered in many quarters to diminish its value, and learning from the publishers that the necessary increase in size will not be objectionable, I have added a chapter, in which I have tried to summarise in the smallest possible compass the main points connected with this wide subject. In deference also to a French critic I have added a few pages on thoracentesis.
