PHE RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-
1_ TURES 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•
were, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa.
tally prevalent!

By F. B. COURTENAY, M./t.C.S.E.,
" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difßcult 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."—Llston's Operative Surgery.
