r rilE RATIONAL TRETMENT of STRIC-
TURES_IL of the URETHRA, in all their varieties and compli-
cations. With practical observations on the use and abuse of instru-
ments in the treatment of urethral diseases, showing that the unne-
cessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of
stricture, and that a want of practical knowledge and manual dex-
terity in their use, when necessary, is the source of most of the se-
vere, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa-
tally prevalent"
By F. B. COURTENAY,
" The eperation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.
