Excerpt from Appendicitis and Its Surgical Treatment: With a Report of One Hundred and Eighty-Five Operated Cases The kindness with which this work was received by the profession, and its rapid sale, have led me to review it and to attempt to bring it up to date. The second edition was partly burned in the fire which destroyed the Lippincott Publishing House in Philadelphia in 1899. The scope of the work is much the same as in the other editions, although a considerable amount of new material is added and many other authors have been consulted. The histories have been omitted, and in their place the cases have been classified according to their different clinical forms. The author hopes that the work may meet with continued favor and be of ser vice to the profession at large.
