Preface

The following lectures were originally intended for use in the College Class Room, and were designed to embody only those things which the student and general practitioner require to know on the subject, in order to meet the demands of every-day practice.

While enoraa-ed in this work, the author became impressed with the fact that although numerous valuable publications existed on Vesico-vaginal Fistula, medical literature, in the English language at least, contained no systematic work on the many other diseases and functional anomalies of the Bladder and Urethra. It then occurred to him, that the material collected from the brief articles of various authors added to the results of his own investigations, if put in an available form, might prove of service to others. Having this object in view, the work is now presented to the profession, with a full consciousness of its many imperfections, yet in the hope that it contains sufficient valuable material to vi PREFACE.

invite the attention of those who are interested in the subject.

The author here records his indebtedness to Professor F. Winckel of Dresden, from whose excellent work* much valuable material has been taken. Indeed, some points on Pathology have been freely copied.

Acknowledgments are also due to Dr. H. H.

Kane for efficient services rendered, especially in

the field of Urinary Pathology.
