THE RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-
T 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, chewing 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. COURTE2TAT, H.R.C.S.E.,
" The operation 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.

An. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ant-
'sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to dementia happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
