TY - JOUR T1 - Accidents and emergencies: A manual of the treatment of surgical and medical emergencies in the absence of a physician. Y1 - 1919/04/26 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1919.02610170048028 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 1246 EP - 1246 VL - 72 IS - 17 N2 - The repeated reprinting of this book indicates in a degree its usefulness to the laity, for whom it is intended. Undoubtedly information readily accessible in the emergencies of daily and family life serves a frequently recurring need. If a book containing such information does not overstep the boundary between the things a lay person may do and those which a surgeon or physician is alone competent to carry out, then it is of value in the home, the school, the playground or on the summer outing, and perhaps for the shop or factory where trained professional help is not provided. On this basis this book may be recommended for the purpose for which it was designed.
