Description
Excerpt from Ambulance Organization, Equipment, and Transport
This primer or elementary, handbook'' of Ambulance Organization, Equipment, and Transport, is written for the use of the casual visitor to the International Health Exhibition of 1884 who, entering the building quite ignorant of Ambulance aims and objects, desires to get a general, but elementary idea of the work.
There is nothing novel in these pages, and the specialist will not learn anything from them. They are simply cullings and extracts from the great writers'' works on the subject.
I desire to offer my heartiest thanks to those who have aided me in this work. Foremost of all I thank Surgeon General Longmore, or, the Professor of Military Surgery at Netley, for his extreme courtesy-and kindness in allow ing me the free use of the plates in his exhaustive special works on The Transport of Sick and Wounded Troops, and on Gunshot Injuries. Where the woodcuts were too large for the pages, I have had them copied by his permission.
Inspector-general Macdonald of the Royal Navy has also, in the most liberal manner, allowed me the use of his woodcuts and manuscript from his well-known work on Naval Hygiene.
Sir John Watt Reid, the Medical Inspector General of the ''navy, has also been particularly kind in granting me the use of plans, &c., for which I beg to thank him.
Mr. John Furley, the well-known ambulance worker of England, has also been very good in giving me his valuable aid.
Baron Mundy of Vienna, the leading ambulance authority in Europe, has furnished me in the most liberal manner with copies of his detailed work on Railway Ambulance Systems, of which I have fully availed myself.
Ober Stabs Arzt Starke, of the Imperial German Army, has also been very kind in giving me information, and I have utilised several of his woodcuts from his elementary ambulance work.
Mr. John Collings, who has engraved several woodcuts for this primer, IS also entitled to my thanks for his good work and his many useful suggestions.
