STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational

By F. B. COURTE NAY,

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience/ in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equall( d, if, in teed, it has not
surpasses', that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of FM rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most stexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembe ed 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 ramie of gurgles! operation., it must be no slight source of
I/ratification on Mr. -ourtenay's pert to have achieved the reputation
he has in this resdect ; and for our part, Wth the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose rare w,• would with
reater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra.
