Golden Rules of Surgery: Aphorisms, Observations and Reflections, on the Science and Art of Surgery, Being a Guide for Surgeons and Those, Who Would Become Surgeons (Classic Reprint)

In this guide to the study of surgery, short space compels me to deal only with the important and frequent occurrences, and not with rare cases. Throughout the little volume will be found philosophical canseries. May they amuse the reader if they fail to convince him. If I may guide the student and keep him on the scientific track, I shall be content. Many of the rules are taken from the fine selection of Golden Rules of Surgery, by Hurry Fenwick, F. R. C. S., England. I have altered them to suit my views and have added much new material. Rules on some subjects, for instance on genito-urinarysubjects, are quoted unchanged.and in toto. I desire to express my indebtedness to this author. On all doubtful or new matter, I give my views based on my own experience, whether differing from accepted views or not. My experience of thirty years has been interspersed by frequent visits to my most renowned colleagues, both in this country and abroad. My judgment has been broadened and tempered by these annual voyages, and still I am often in error because I am only human. A. C. BERNAYS. St. Louis, Mo., A pril, igo6.
