Excerpt from Gunshot Wounds and Other Injuries of NervesThe cases upon which this little volume is founded were studied during about fifteen months, beginning in May, 1863. At that date, Dr. Wm. A. Hammond, then the surgeon-general, ordered that certain wards should be set apart for the treatment of Diseases of the Nervous Sys tem in the U. S. Army Hospital, Christian Street, Phila delphia. Two of the authors of this volume were placed in charge of these wards, and the third, Dr. Keen, was subsequently added as resident surgeon. Many difiicul ties and embarrassments naturally arose at the outset of an undertaking so novel as that of a special hospital meant to receive only a limited class of cases. As the Surgeon General increased the number of such hospitals, creating distinct wards for various classes of diseases, these obsta cles soon disappeared, and the good results of the system became apparent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
