Synopsis

This book, written by a physician and surgeon at the turn of the 20th century, is a comprehensive guide to first aid for both civilians and guides hiking in the mountains. It covers a range of subjects, from treating sprains, dislocations, and fractures to preventing and caring for frostbite, sunburn, and snakebites. In addition to detailed instructions on how to bandage and care for wounds and injuries, the author provides an overview of the human body including the skeletal, circulatory, nervous, and digestive systems. While medical knowledge has progressed since the book was published, the author's clear explanations and practical advice make it a valuable reference for anyone venturing into the mountains.
