Excerpt from d104-Book of Operative Surgery The First English Edition, published in 1895, was translated from the Second German Edition, published in 1894. This, the Second English Edition, which is a translation of the F ourth (latest) German Edition, is only a few pages less than twice the size of its predecessor. There have also been added 70 new illustrations, many of Which are coloured. The sections dealing with Anaesthesia, the Treatment of Wounds, the Head and Neck, Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis, have been entirely rewritten, and' the same may be said of the sections on Amputations and Excisions. Compared, therefore, with the former English Edition, the present work may be regarded as practically a new book. Since the publication of the F ourth German Edition there has appeared, in the Zentralblatt few Chirurgie, of l0th J annary, 1903, a paper from the pen of Professor kocher, entitled Mobilisierung des Duodenum und Gastro duodenostomie. The author speaks so highly of the operation that I have considered it advisable to introduce, in the form of an appendix, a translation of this important paper. For the time and labour expended in the translation the writer derives no i'nconsiderable reward from the consciousness that the teaching and methods of so great a master as Professor kocher will be welcomed not only by senior students. And practitioners, but also by all who are actively engaged in the teaching and practice of surgery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
