Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 43: January 5, 1899
Examination disclosed a small tumor on right side, the whole abdominal region being very tender; temperature was 101% F; pulse 140. Advised immediate operation, telling patient I would return to town, get the necessary instruments, etc., and return as soon as possible. Patient objected to Operation, owing to the fact that he was feeling easier and thought that, with proper care, an operation might be avoided, especially as every attack had been brought on by imprudent eating. I left him' and returned to my office in town.
