Synopsis

Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Post-Mortem Examinations and of Morbid Anatomy

This work is intended to serve as a guide for those persons who may be called upon to perform post-mortem examinations. For most physicians this call is only an occasional one, so that they may feel the need of some hand-book to which they may refer. It is not proposed to offer a complete treatise on Pathological Anatomy, nor on Medical Jurisprudence, but rather a work which bears the same relation to them that a dissecting manual does to a complete Anatomy.

The book is divided into four parts. The first gives the method of performing autopsies on the bodies of adults and of young children. The second gives in detail the lesions which have been observed in each organ of the body. The third gives the lesions which are found after deaths from general diseases, from violence, and from poisons. The fourth gives a short classification of tumors.
