Manual of Surgery

Photos taken from the Manual of Surgery Volume 1: Sixth Edition is a volume of surgical lessons that were learned in the hard school of war. 

"the surgery of warfare is a thing apart from the general surgery of civil life, and the exhaustive literature now available on every aspect of it makes it unnecessary that it should receive detailed consideration in a manual for students. In preparing this new edition, therefore, we have endeavoured to incorporate only such additions to our knowledge and resources as our experience leads us to believe will prove of permanent value in civil practice."
