GAMGEE, Sampson [1828-1886].

8vo. pp. [vii], xix, 364 + [16]ads. with tipped-in addendum slip. wood-engraved text illus. original cloth (light foxing to first few leaves). First Collected Edition, Revised and Improved. "Gamgee was a surgeon of great practical skill and marked individuality. He was a strenuous advocate of the treatment of wounds by dry and infrequent dressing, and by rest and immobility, and he was an opponent of the extremes of Listerism.Several of his surgical appliances were largely adopted, especially by the army medical department, and his cotton wool absorbent pads, gauze tissue, and his millboard and paper splints are very widely used. The use of cotton wool was first suggested to him by reading Mathias Mayor's La Chirurgerie Simplifiée, Brussels, 1842; but its improved manufacture in an antiseptic condition was largely due to his suggestions."
