constant jeopardy through the deadly chemicals which doctors have
introduced in order to prop up that trade."

STRICTURE of the URETHRA; its Patho-
logy and Rational Treatment, with important Practical Ob-
servations on the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment
of Obstructions of the Urinary Canal; showing how it is that Stile-
tares, in most cases, not only resist, but are aggravated by the ordi-
nary means adopted for their cure, and at length become seriously
complicated by the so-called " eonsequences of Stricture." The
whole illustrated by numerous cases, which will be found to embrace
every possible form of Stricture and its consequences, together with
appropriate means of care.
By F. 13. COURTENAY, M.R.C.q.E.
Those who are labouring under long-protracted stricture, 'with all
its accompanying miseries, will find detailed in this work modes of
treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority of
which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst thcse who
are suffering under the less severe furms of the disease may find
the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such information
as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskilful and
v olent treatment—the main-spring of severe and complicated ob-
structions of the urinary canal. " The operation of introducing a
catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the
most Ballcht in the whole range of surgical operations,
mds te prudence, science, and skill of a master. The art
can in
only be acquired. and that gradually, by frequent practice."—
