Excerpt from The First Lines of the Practice of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2: Designed as an Introduction for Students, and a Concise Book of Reference for Practitioners
Truth, that there is more real merit in removing the necessi ty for the practice of any one severe operation already fa miliarly adopted, than in the invention and performance of a hundred new ones. Let not the young surgeon be led to amputate the jaw for a disorder with which it is often at tacked, and which is well known by the name of necrosis. I believe, that no simple necrosis of it, unattended with a fungous or medullary tumor originating within the bone it self, can ever be an instance in which amputation of the lower jaw is justifiable. Very large exfoliations take place of themselves; new bone is produced, as a substitute for what is lost; the swelling, thickening, and ulcerated state of the soft parts, all disappear; and, in the end, the patient recovers without deformity, and without the agony and dan ger of an Operation, frequently long and severe, and always more or less mutilating. These observations seemed to me proper, as a caution that might usefully accompany this edi tion, in which a newish Operation, attended with all its usual attractions, good and bad, is submitted to the notice of the profession. At the same time, I particularly request the reader to observe, that, in the chapter on this subject, the kinds of disease, for which the Operation was deemed indis pensably necessary, by surgeons of great eminence and judgment, are faithfully described.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of inflammation, a process fundamental to the human bodyââ â¢s response to injury and disease. The author, writing in the early 19th century, explores the various forms of inflammation, from the acute, throbbing pain of a boil to the insidious, slow-burning nature of chronic ailments. He delves into the fascinating interplay between local and systemic reactions, examining how inflammation affects not only the affected area but the entire body through a "sympathetic fever." The book stands as a testament to the careful observations and insightful reasoning of surgical practice in its time. The author provides a detailed analysis of the physiological processes involved in inflammation, including the role of blood vessels, the formation of pus, and the vital role of healing. He offers a practical guide to the treatment of inflammation, emphasizing the importance of bloodletting, purging, and the application of topical remedies, all in the context of a time when surgical techniques were evolving rapidly. The book's insights into the nature and treatment of inflammation offer a window into the early development of surgical understanding, and its detailed examination of this fundamental biological process continues to resonate with the study of medicine today.
