Excerpt from A Manual of Military Surgery: Or Hints on the Emergencies of Field, Camp and Hospital Practice The duties and requirements of military are essentially similar to those of civil surgery. It is founded upon the same knowledge of anatomy, medicine, and the associate sciences; it demands the same qualifications, physical, moral, and intellectual. The difference consists in the application of our knowledge rather than in its range or depth. The civil surgeon remains at home; the military follows the army, examines recruits for the public service, and superintends the health of the troops. If the former is well educated, he will be quite as competent, at any time, as the latter to perform these duties; for the emergencies of civil are often not less trying than those of military practice, although they may not be on so large a scale. The best civil have often also been the best military surgeons. In proof of this assertion it is necessary only to refer to the names of Pare, Wiseman, Schmucker, Kern, Larrey, Guthrie, Charles Bell, Alcock, Thomson, Ballingall, and Macleod, of Europe; or to those of Rush, Jones, Thacher, Mann, and Horner of our own country. Military surgery occupies, at the present day, a deservedly high rank in tlic estimation both of the profession and of the public.
