Book Description

Excerpt from Gleet: Its Pathology and Treatment, Vol. 2 In publishing this treatise on Gleet, my intention is to elucidate some essential points which are very often neglected, and to make its pathology more generally and more fully known. I not only state instances of my success, but also of my failure, indicating that form of Gleet which may be cured by medicine and that which requires surgical treatment. I purposely omitted to fill my pages with long accounts of cases, because the histories of cases are of late related so much in consonance with the writer's preconceived ideas on the subject, that the profession at large has begun to lose confidence in them. I consider that accounts of cases are only valuable when they are publicly observed, as in hospitals, in the presence of witnesses.
