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 F. 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 the 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 valuab_
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and!
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject;
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work
—" Sunday Tim,e 9 s /id
should be in the hands of young and old.'
3d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing ti h is
little work, in which is described the source of those disea 3 es
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premati > re
old age."—"Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional *criticism and empirical hostility, treats in apl sin
and sympathising manner on the various disqualificati Erns
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors t Lnd
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.
