Excerpt from A Text-Book on Surgery: General, Operative, and Mechanical In an age when books upon 'this subject are plentiful, this work was undertaken not without misgivings, yet with a determination to lure nothing undone which would add to its usefulness and make it u exponent of modern and progressive surgery. Such rapid advances we being made, that marvelous results are today achieved by meas urea Mom to the profession but a few months earlier. The intro duction of comm Icydxrocklomtc as a local anaesthetic marks an epoch in mrgial practice; and yet this wonderful agent has scarcely been mentioned in works on awry. Again, the antiseptic method of heating wounds, originated within the last few years, has brought With it such protection to life and usefulness, that it deserves a more amongh consideration than is often allotted it by surgical writers, and should be universally accepted and practiced.

educator military Surgeon author
John A. Wyeth was born on May 26, 1845, in Missionary Station, Guntersville, Alabama, the son of Judge Louis Weiss Wyeth and Euphemia Allan, and a grandson of John Wyeth.
He was educated in the common school at Guntersville, a town founded by his father. In 1861 he entered La Grange Military Academy in Alabama, but spent only a year under its rigid discipline, for at seventeen he joined the Confederate army. After playing an active part in many skirmishes and engagements, he was taken prisoner in October 1863 and held until April 1865. For years he suffered from the effects of unhealthful living conditions in prison. He became a superintendent of a large cotton plantation in Franklin (later Colbert) County, Alabama, after the war, but soon gave up this position because of his ill health. In 1867 he began the study of medicine, graduating from the medical department of the University of Louisville in 1869. He had practised for only two months, when, feeling that his medical education had been insufficient, particularly in its lack of laboratory and clinical training, he decided to give the next few years to earning money for postgraduate study. Going to New York in 1872, he discovered that there were no special courses for graduate students in medicine. He attended lectures at Bellevue Medical School, however, and devoted much of his time to clinics in surgery and dissection. He received his ad eundem degree in 1873.
From 1874 to 1877 he was prosector to the chair of anatomy at Bellevue Hospital. When ill health forced him to retire, he studied abroad for two years. On his return to New York he submitted to a number of eminent New York physicians his plans for a postgraduate school of medicine, which he had long dreamed of establishing. As a result, the New York Polyclinic Hospital and Medical School was organized in 1881. Wyeth devoted the remainder of his life to it, serving first as surgeon-in-chief and later as president. He ultimately gave up a large private practice in surgery to confine his energies exclusively to the Polyclinic Hospital. Wyeth devised a number of new surgical procedures. After the appearance in his The Surgical Anatomy of the Carotid Arteries (1876) his ligation of the external carotid artery became an accepted procedure, and his bloodless amputation at shoulder and hip joints, first performed in 1889 and 1890, is known as Wyeth's operation. He reported on his new method for treating inoperable tumors by injection of boiling water in 1903. His most important work in his own field was A Textbook on Surgery (1887). A prolific writer, he contributed largely to non-medical literature as well. He served as president of the New York Pathological Society (1885 - 1886), the New York State Medical Association (1901), the American Medical Association (1901 - 1902), and the New York Academy of Medicine (1907 - 1910). In 1914 his autobiography, With Sabre and Scalpel, was published. He died suddenly on May 22, 1922, of heart trouble.
