Excerpt from Urology: Diseases of the Urinary Organs, Diseases of the Male Genital Organs, the Venereal DiseasesThe advance of Urology in the past decade has quite destroyed the value of the volume of which this is the successor. Not only have the sections devoted to Cystoscopy, Radiography, Renal Function Tests, Renal Infections and Tuberculosis been rewritten throughout, but the viewpoint from which we now regard Gonorrhea, Prostatism, Syphilis and many of the Operations upon the Urinary Organs has so changed that those sections also have been radically altered. Indeed excepting only those chapters descriptive of the early lesions of Syphilis not a single page of the older work but has suffered some change - we hope for the better. The general scheme of the volume remains the same, though some of the chapters have been rearranged for greater clarity of presentation and Syphilis, which does not prop erly belong to Urology, has been relegated to an appendix.The present volume is founded much more on personal clinical and pathological experience than its predecessor, and while the work of others has been freely quoted, it has seemed essential for unity of presentation that much purely statistical material be simply referred to in footnotes.More than fifty illustrations have been added, about half of these being radiographs for the greater number of which we are indebted to Dr. Byron O. Darling, for a minority to Dr. E. W. Caldwell and Dr. L. G. Cole. Gratitude is also due to Dr. B. S. Barringer for assistance in many ways, and to Dr. E. D. Barringer, whose chapters on Gonorrhea in the Female have been retained. To the laboratory staff of Cornell University Medical College is due whatever scientific sanity this book exhibits. Its errors, in science as well as clinical matter, may be imputed only to the author.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
