Synopsis
In this remarkable work, an esteemed medical doctor offers an engrossing tour of surgical pathologies as they were understood over a century ago. Introduced with the full title Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1856, by Drs. SAMUEL LOGAN T. S. WAKING... the book was born of the authors' desire to convey the knowledge they had gained while serving as students of Dr. Geddes. The text follows a familiar path for a surgical text of the mid-19th century, beginning with the prevailing theory of inflammation and discussing its treatment via bloodletting and cathartics. The authors then dive into the consequences and products of inflammation, with particular attention given to the formation of pus and the development of abscesses. The text concludes with an exploration of the processes by which these abscesses heal, offering various techniques to facilitate drainage. While the theories and treatments described within may seem archaic to a modern audience, this book provides an intriguing glimpse into the medical practices of the past.
