Excerpt from Technic of the Irrigation Treatment of Wounds by the Carrel Method

Alexis Carrel's genius has been shown in many remarkable ways and has already received the hall-mark of a Nobel prize.

But now he has done a still greater practical service to humanity in the new and wonderfully successful technic in treating war wounds by means of Dakin's Solution. A colleague, M. le Dr. J. Dumas, and Dr. Carrel's devoted and talented wife - truly a helpmate, who has been so valiant an assistant in all his re searches both in this country and in France - have amplified the details of this treatment in a small brochure to which, in its English translation, it is a genuine pleasure for me at the request of the publisher to furnish this brief introductory note.
