Every general practitioner is called upon, at times, to prepare for an operation in a private home and to have the care of the case after the operation is performed. The directions for treating post-operative complications as given in our books on general and operative surgery, and as taught in most of our colleges, are so meagre and scattered, it seems to the author that there is need of a special book on this subject, one that enters into the minute details of the after-care of surgical cases. Homoeopathic therapeutics have been made a prominent feature in the book.
