Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Peritoneum, Vol. 1: Structure and Function in Relation to the Principles of Abdominal Surgery This study was begun during my student days, now twenty-five years ago, and has occupied my leisure moments during all these years. Being done in conjunction with an active surgical practice, it naturally partakes of the practical viewpoint. The first volume discusses the more abstract problems, while the second volume has to do with the practical aspects. This being a research I have not felt obligated to treat all chapters equally and in the same way. In those chapters in which my own work is chiefly represented, there was in some instances little literature to consider. In others, for instance, that on Tuberculosis, where my own material was limited, the literature was reviewed extensively. On the whole, my reasons for the selection of the literature quoted are purely personal, and no attempt has been made to judge the permanency of the value of the papers selected for the bibliography. Though I have done most of the work alone, much help was received from the frequent association with Dr. Montrose T. Burrows, Associate Professor of Pathology, Washington University Medical School; and in recent years Dr. Albert C. Eycleshymer, Professor of Anatomy, University of Illinois Medical School, has extended valuable aid and criticism. I am particularly indebted to Mr. Tom Jones, the artist, for his limitless patience in reproducing specimens. Mrs. Rosa M. Hibbard, Librarian of the Kansas City Medical Library, has rendered valuable assistance in checking up the literature. The courtesy of the publishers has converted the usual task of seeing a work through the press into a real pleasure.
