About this Item
This well-preserved binding shows only minor corner wear with some slight fraying at the spine extremities. Foxing noted throughout, usually quite modest, heavier on the preliminaries and title-page. Text is crisp and clean. This is a very important treatise on anaesthesia, divided into four parts. The first part deals with anaesthesia in surgery, the second with anaesthesia in midwifery, the third with the nature and power of various anaesthetic agents, and the fourth with local anaesthesia. The author was a professor at Edinburgh University. He was the first physician to use chloroform in obstetrics rather than the commonly used ether which was more irritating to mother and baby. 248pp. See G-M 5657 , Norman 1946, and Osler Bibliotheca 1366 for citations. Penny postcard laid-in with listings of surgical instruments from the J.N. Scott Company in Kansas City. Size: Octavo. Seller Inventory # 010878
