    PREFACE. The object of the following few pages Is to provide a basis of instruction in the surgical aspect of the Jewish rite of circumcision. The performance of this simple operation is not limited to medical men. It is therefore essential that the lay Mohel should possess a scientific kmwledge of the important task he undertakes. The Initiation Society which controls the instruction of Mohelim has arranged a Syllabus which guarantees such an acquaintance icith the subject. This little book is planned in accordance with that syllabus. Its main object is to bring the prhiciples of Asepsis with- in the information of everyone acting as a Mohel, and to insist upon the urgent need of carrying these principles into practice. 11, Shoot-up-Hii.l, BrOJsDESBURY, N.W.
