Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Plea for the Cure of Rupture: Or, the Pathology of the Subcutaneous Operation by Injection for the Cure of Hernia
The new conformateur for measuring and showing accurately the contour of hernia, and deformities, such as fractured bones, tumors, etc., as well as the paper on causation of hernia, were contributed to this mono graph by C. Everett Warren, a.b., M.D., of Boston. The paper on the proper fitting and wearing of a truss was contributed by W. Everett Smith, a.r., M.D., of Framingham, Mass. Besides, these contributions I have received cheerful cc-operation from both of these gentlemen in preparing this work. I am greatly in debted to George Tiemann Co. And John Reynders Co. Of New York for illustrations of my instruments; also to Mr. Richard H. Kimball, chemist, of Cambridge Mass, for his careful and accurate description of the method of preparing the various formulas used in my operations. The paper, A Plea for Operative Measures for the Relief and Cure of Hernia, which was prepared for reading before the meeting at Liverpool of the Brit ish Medical Association, is here published, with very slight alterations, as it originally appeared in the Asso ciation's journal.
The portion of thismonograph that treats of tissue repair was prepared for presentation before the Suffolk District Medical Society some two years ago, but was not read, owing to sickness. Some of my personal friends urged me to publish the article, as it contained matter of interest and value, hitherto unknown, con cerning the Operation for the cure of hernia by the method of subcutaneous injection. It is here reprinted from the Glasgow Medical Journal of April and May, 1883, together with a brief re'sume' of the modus ope randi of the subcutaneous method, intended to assist those who have not become familiar with the Operation as it is presented in my Treatise on Hernia, second edition, published by James R. Osgood Co., Boston, Mass, and Messrs. J. A. Churchill, London.
