PREFACE
anæsthetists alike—and the Matron, and the theatre- and ward-nursing staffs of this hospital, whose shoulders have borne the brunt of the work. Assiduous and intelligent care in the after-treatment of these eases is a prime necessity, and calls for the highest standard of watchful skill.
Finally, the author wishes to thank Lieut.–Colonel J. R. Colvin, Commandant of the Queen's Hospital, for his unfailing help and fairness of treatment throughout two long years. His powers of organisation and ready grasp of the situation have alone rendered possible the continuity of the work in times of stress.
