About this Item

107 pp; 8 figs.; 3 plates. Original cloth. Top & bottom of spine chipped, else. Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY LAWSON TAIT: "To my friend Dr. J. F. W. Ross/ Lawson Tait" (see photos). Garrison-Morton 6199. "Lawson Tait is remembered particularly for his contribution to our knowledge of extrauterine pregnancy and its treatment. . . . Previous to 1883 no one had attempted to operate on a case of ectopic pregancy in which rupture of the tube had recently taken place. In this year, a case presenting itself, Tait decided to operate soon after the tube had ruptured and this operation was the beginning of a series of 35 cases which soon followed with but two deaths. Within a short time the operation became the recognized method of treatment of a desperate condition" (Thoms, Classical Contributions to Obstetrics and Gynecology, pp. 239-40). Wangensteen & Wangensteen, Rise of Surgery, pp. 221-22. Seller Inventory # 14060
