This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ...even to all skins, and that prepared with 1 to 50 was unirritating to most skins. Now there is this to be observed for our comfort, that the discharge both from wounds and from abscesses antiseptically treated is a serous discharge, not a bloody one, except in the case of wounds during the first twenty-four hours; and even in the first twenty-four hours, except in cases in which the dressing has to be taken down for reactionary haemorrhage, the blood is always more or less diluted with serum.

It is now three days since the operation was performed, and, from the perfectly normal temperature and returning appetite and strength, I think we may be satisfied that the boy is already out of risk of septic complications. And this you will observe, is a very testing case. I may mention one other case, that of a boy six years old, from whom, nearly three weeks ago, I removed a portion of a rib, for the purpose of allowing free drainage to empyema. We let out thirty ounces of thick, odourless pus, and a great quantity came out afterwards. He has...
