ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By Ir. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.
" This work is tho -production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained,-and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and profession al reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who arc subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.
