Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surgical Nursing and Technique a Book for Nurses, Dressers, House Surgeons, Etc Some small Share in awakening authorities to this crying injustice, and in the amelioration we see coming to the nursing profession in both directions. The Short chapter on nursing in military hospitals has been omitted, as it only dealt in the barest and most perfunctory method with the subject, and no useful purpose would be served by retaining it now. Plates Of the tetanus bacillus and the Bacillus perfringens, which gained such an unenviable notoriety during the war, with short descriptions of them, have been added. Inasmuch as the treatment of the septic wounds of war made such enormous advances, we may expect in the future a great improvement in the treatment of the septic wounds of peace, such as arise from accidents of various kinds, and the bearing of aseptic technique upon these, derived from the war's experience, has been emphasized on many occasions in this edition. I have also introduced the latest informa tion on wound shock, which engaged the attention Of so many investigators during the war, and have drawn attention to its bearing on the incidence and treatment of operative shock and shock following the accidents of civil life. A few modern instruments have been intro duced, and plates of those going or gone out of use have been omitted, and the book has been generally brought up to date. The war has, as might have been expected, furnished great opportunities for surgery, and surgeons and nurses alike will revert to the practice Of civil surgery better equipped in many particulars for the exercise of their calling. I have endeavoured to in dicate these in the present edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
