Excerpt from Surgical Operations With Local Anesthesia
In the first edition of this little book I had in mind the needs of the general practitioner in the role of an occasional opera tor. In harmony with this plan the simpler operations alone were described, confining myself to those operations which any one should be able to do with certainty without a great amount of experience in the use of local anesthetics.
Contrary to my expectations many surgeons of standing ex pressed an interest in the work and made the suggestion that its scope be widened to meet the need of surgeons. In conform ity with this wish the present work takes in most of the major operations.
