LEWI, M.D. _President of the School of Chiropody of New York_ THE SCHOOL OF CHIROPODY OF NEW YORK 213-217 WEST 125TH STREET NEW YORK _It is intended to publish a series of books which will constitute a complete SYSTEM OF PODIATRY, comprising the entire range of subjects essential to a comprehensive knowledge of the theory and practice of Chiropody and all that is or should be known by the practising chiropodist, or that should be taught to the student of Chiropody._ _The present volume, “Surgery,” is the first of this series and will be followed by “Practical Chiropody,” “Chiropodial Orthopedics” and other volumes on subjects of major interest and of vital importance to all interested in Podiatry._ CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE PREFACE ix I INTRODUCTION 1 II SURGICAL BACTERIOLOGY 6 III ASEPSIS AND ANTISEPSIS 18 IV INFLAMMATION 28 V WOUNDS AND CONTUSIONS 39 VI HEMORRHAGE 51 VII BURNS, FROST BITE, ETC. 56 VIII FISTULAE; FISSURES; SINUSES; ABSCESSES; FURUNCLES; ULCERS 64 IX DISEASES OF JOINTS—THE SEROUS AND SYNOVIAL MEMBRANES 82 X DISEASES OF THE BONES 99 XI DISEASES AND INJURIES OF THE ARTERIES AND GANGRENE 118 XII DISEASES OF VEINS 125 XIII SPECIAL FORMS OF INFLAMMATION 130 XIV VERRUCA (WART), CALLOSITY, HELOMA (CORN OR CLAVUS), DISEASES OF THE NAILS—INGROWN NAIL 139 PREFACE This volume is intended to serve as a guide to the diagnosis and to the treatment of the diseases and conditions of the body in general, in their relation to the foot, as well as to those conditions which primarily affect this member. Much of the matter herein contained might be regarded as beyond the scope of Chiropody; this, however, is a fallacy not more applicable to Chiropody than to any other specialized branch of Surgery requiring a knowledge of the physiologic and pathologic processes at work in the production of disease.
