Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Treatment

A new edition is most welcome. When the book appeared in 1937 it was well in advance of anything then in print. There is again a great deal of recent work assimilated into the body of the various chapters. Among the names of contributors are many new ones,some of which have been prominent in the journals during the last 8 years. We miss the name of Homans and his beautiful article on thrombosis. Linton's article is excellent and in no way inferior, it is just the absence of an old favourite. The book is too long to review in detail. Suffice it to say that we have read it with great care and can find no statement which could be said to be unreasonable or impracticable. There is much the experienced surgeon can learn from this book. To the junior surgeon it should provide a constant sound helpmate.
