And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the

'Cure-of Strictures of the Urethra.

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and, happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.
