✦ Synopsis

IN the fifth edition of this large work Max Thorek has obtained the help of some twenty-three contributors, all well known in the various fields of modern surgery. The whole book has been entirely rewritten and its value enhanced. No surgeon to-day can be expected to be an expert in all the many and varied branches of the art and practice of surgery.

The various contributors have done their work well, and have set forth in an interesting way the surgical pitfalls which may arise during surgical operations. With such a team of experts, it is quite understandable that all safeguards that should be taken before, during, and after surgical intervention should be set out in detail.

This is an ideal book for the young surgeon, but its price is somewhat prohibitive.
