Excerpt from Stricture of the Urethra, Its Complications and Effects: A Practical Treatise on the Nature and Treatment of Those AffectionsIn this work my great object has been to enforce the adoption of the principles and practice of conservative surgery in the treat ment of Urethral Stricture. Should the views which I have advanced induce others to hesitate before they resort to the more hazardous modes of treatment, which have lately been too prevalent, it is to be hoped that my labours in this branch of the profession may prove useful in saving many patients from the risk incurred by sub mitting them to operations, not nnfrequently fatal, and which, I feel convinced, are seldom required.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
