Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "First edition containing a record of the author's extensive experiences in the Crimean War during which he served as chief surgeon to the British army. Macleod was present at Smyrna and Sebastopol, and he describes the high mortalityrates for all of the standard operations. He recommended amputation despite the likelihood of unfavorable outcome (for excision of the hip joint the mortality was one hundred percent), since delay led to even greater loss of life. The war in the Crimea, according to the author, 'added little to our medical knowledge. Its short duration prevented this; yet it has shown us wounds of a severity, perhaps, never before equalled' (p. vii). A Philadelphia edition for use by Union surgeons during the Civil War was published in 1862. An edition for use by Confederate surgeons was published in 1862 in Richmond."--Antiquarian bookseller's description.

THE "PECULIARITIES" OF GUNSHOT WOUNDS, AND THEIR GENERAL TREATMENT. In saying that " there is a peculiarity, but no mystery, in gunshot wounds," John Bell has expressed the change of opinion which late times have brought about with regard to the nature of these injuries. It was the mysterious character ascribed by the old surgeons to wounds from so " devilish an engine" as a gun, which so long surrounded them with dread, and made incantations and charms the favorite resource in their treatment. The new philosophy has dispelled the mystery, but left us still to study the eccentricities which so often mark these injuries. The contused appearance and unavoidable sloughing of the walls of the ball's track, the little-suspected but serious destruction of deep parts, and the grave consequences which may ensue from such a wound appear to have been the circumstances that suggested the envenomed nature of gunpowder, and the cautery-like action of its projected ball, as well as the idea which prevailed, that in order to get quit of the injurious influences thus exerted on the wound, it was necessary to pour into it burning oil, or curious tinctures concocted from the most opposite and absurd ingredients, or to smear the part with nauseous grease and "charmed salves." The description of the sensation caused by a gunshot wound in a fleshy part, usually given by the sufferer, is, that it resembles the effect of a smart blow from a supple cane. Some, however, feel as if a red-hot wire were passed through the part. The fracturing or splintering of a bone is always more painful than a flesh wound, and if a joint or larger cavity be penetrated, the pain is still more acute, and the shock still greater--in most cases proportioned to the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Surgery of the War in the Crimea: With Remarks on the Treatment of Gunshot Wounds The author, though for many reasons regretting the delay which has taken place in submitting the following pages to the public, is gratified however to find that his views and deductions have been so completely confirmed by the Government Report, and by the work of M. Scrive, both of which have appeared since his book has been printed. It is with great deference that this little work is given to the public; but the writer does so under the conviction that some record of our surgical experience in the East is desirable, and he bases his own claim to a fair and impartial hearing, simply on his having had the good fortune to see so much of the surgeryr of the war, first at Constantinople and Scutari during the greater part of the early period when the patients were chiefly treated there, and, latterly, in the Crimea during the last year of the campaign, when few cases left camp unconcluded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gunshot wounds consist of injuries from missiles projected by the force of explosion. As the name implies, this class of wounds is ordinarily restricted to injuries resulting from fire-arms; but it should be remembered that wounds possessing the same leading characteristics may result from objects impelled by any sudden expansive force of sufficient violence. Injuries from stones, in the process of blasting rocks, or from fragments of close vessels burst asunder by the elastic power of steam, offer familiar examples of wounds of a like nature with those from gunshot. In the following article, however, gunshot wounds will be considered as they are met with in the operations of warfare.
