STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F B. COURTEisTAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during' the last twenty years has Equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of sun, rise that he should enjoy the reputation of be'ng a
most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is renpOrnbered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction, of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeab'e to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res..ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his Experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra"—Medical Circa'ar.
