Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Process Employed by Nature in Suppresssing the Hemorrhage From Divided and Punctured Arteries; And on the Use of the Ligature: Concluding With Observations on Secondary Hemorrhage: The Whole Deduced From an Extensive Series of Experiments, and Illustrated by Fifteen Plates
The subjects of this treatise, whether we consider them in reference to the patient, or the surgeon, are inferior to none in the interest which they ought to excite. The brave, the unfortunatefand the dis eased, are those who plead for that aid which is to rescue them'from instant danger. The surgeon never suffers greater anxiety, than when he is called upon to suppress a violent hemorrhage; and on no occasion is the reputation of his art so much at stake. There are only two modes by which we are enabled to obtain any knowledge on these subjects: first, by patient ob servations made on the human body; and secondly, by direct experiments on brutes. War, accidents.
