Excerpt from The Healing of Arteries After Ligature in Man and AnimalsThe study of the subject of which this monograph treats, has been carried on, hitherto, in a more or less fragmentary way, different portions of it having received very minute attention, and from the hands of the ablest pathologists. The attempt has been made here to study the question from a more comprehensive standpoint, to ob serve not only the behavior of the various tissues concerned in the process of repair, but also the different phases through which the vessel passes from the moment of ligature until the condition is reached after which no further change occurs.The investigations have, for the most part, been carried on in the Harvard Medical School, and the writer takes this opportunity to ex press his appreciation of the great facilities offered for such work in the Physiological and Pathological Laboratories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
