THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi•
pies at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms. To which is added, PRACTICAL
OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR•
BMA. BY CAUTERIZATION ; its Inefficiency and Danger.

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments
geons has been marked with all kinds of violence, an indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., ail., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently ;successful."
