" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it hat not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of am otitis that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilffil manipu ator with urethral instruments;
arid when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which bad
previously been impermeable to them, was the moat difficult in the
whole 'fattge Of surgical oberations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay'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
g. eater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.
