Excerpt from Surgery at a Casualty Clearing Station

Some months ago it was suggested that the type of surgical work which is associated with the Casualty Clearing Station might with advantage be summarised in book form. The present volume is the outcome of that suggestion. It embodies the results of several years' experience of this type of work on the Western Front, and as far as possible care has been taken to include in the text only methods of proved value.

In a book of this description it is impossible to fully acknowledge the assistance and many courtesies which we have received. We are indebted to many administrative officers of the R.A.M.C. for the facilities which they have granted in clinical and pathological work. Colonel Lister, C.M.G., A.M.S., has been good enough to revise the chapter dealing with injuries to the eye. To Captain Oswald Robertson, M.O.R.C., U.S.A., we are indebted for permission to quote from his work on blood transfusion; and to the Medical Research Committee, the proprietors of the British Medical Journal and the Lancet we owe thanks for permission to reproduce certain illustrations.
