r 11HE RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-
TURESA. of the URETHRA, in all their varieties and compli-
cations. With practical observations en 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.

stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of

of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.
