Preface.

from Gray, Sajous, Sir Morell Mackenzie, and the Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences, modified so as to properly illustrate the text.) Special directions will be given for performing the operation, and to those who are still skeptical and at the risk of being wearisome, a brief record of all my cases will be given, together with statistics of the operation collected from all parts of the United States.

The amount of correspondence that has been necessary in order to answer the many inquiries that have been made in regard to intubation, leads to the hope that this small volume may be acceptable. If it proves to be a help to those endeavoring to give relief in hours of deadly peril, it will not have been written in vain.
