removed by the most simple means.
By P. B. COURTENAY, M. R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for th
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose sped:
attention has been directed, through a long professional lif
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cas(

great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the variol is
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon whit lb
their management is founded. By his systematic managemei at
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we c: in
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a value
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of .all who are subjf let
to stricture."—Medical Circular.
