SURGERY

Preface

TN THIS volume an endeavor has been made to present the essential facts of practical Surgery, modified by the science of Osteopathy, as taught and practiced by its discoverer, Andrew Taylor Still. That Osteopathic practice has revolutionized Modern Surgery may be evidenced by a perusal of the following pages. In the preparation of this work the writer has attempted to be as brief as is compatible with clearness. But few operative methods have been detailed, since it is believed that these properly belong to works on operative surgery. For the Osteopathic treatment of the various surgical affections the writer has followed the teachings of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still and the instructions of Dr. Charles E. Still, collaborator of the text. Special credit is due Dr. George M. I^aughlin for valuable advice in the preparation of this work, and also for the radiographs made by him and kindly loaned for the purpose of illustration.

The illustrations in this text, with the exception of the radiographs, were made from original drawings by Miss Agnes Dandy and Mr. William Richardson, students at the American School of Osteopathy. Credit is given the various standard works on surgery to which the author has had occasion to refer. Credit is also due Dr. Harriet F. Rice for valuable assistance in the preparation of the manuscript.
