The Cure of Rupture by Paraffin Injections

"The Cure of Rupture by Paraffin Injections" by Charles Conrad Miller is a medical book from the early 1900s that introduces a new approach to fixing hernias through paraffin injections, offering a potentially simpler option than surgery. The book thoroughly explains how to do the injection, from getting the skin and syringe ready to how the body is expected to react. It points out that you might not even need to put the patient to sleep, which could calm the fears of those who are nervous about surgery. It gives examples of real cases where the technique worked well, along with advice to doctors about how to do it right and take good care of their patients, making it a resource for doctors and anyone interested in this different way to handle hernias.
