Book Description

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Diseases The object I have sought to attain in the preparation of this work is to present a concise and thoroughly practical treatise on the diseases of the rectum. My opportunities for the investigation and treatment of these diseases have been ample, both in private prac tice and at St. Mark's Hospital, with which Institution I have been connected for upwards of twenty years. Ihave, however, omitted, as tending to expand too far the size of this book, all clinical records, and for the same reason, all unnecessary details have been avoided in describing, pfathologicahappearances.
