A strange book of verse about perforated ulcer, acute pancreatitis, appendicitis and cholecystitis, intestinal obstruction, colics, ectopic gestation, peritonitis, abdominal injuries and treatment. Humour may not be to everyone's taste, eg. "The patient blanches and may gasp for breath, Fall down in a dead faint and look like death, Which sometimes soon may prove to be the fact; But usualy the patient doth react" (pp. 76-77).
