Excerpt from Diseases of the Bladder and Prostate: And Obscure Affections of the Urinary Organs, With Diagrams, Illustrating the Author's Treatment of Stone, Without Cutting, and Numerous Cases of Speedy and Permanent Cure With the Spray Treatment Given Up as Chronic and "Incurable" The present work, On Diseases of the Bladder and Prostate, has evidently interested many, or it would not have grown in successive issues, both in circulation and contents, to a greatly enlarged and much demanded seventh edition. The writer has, in fact, much to say and to point out to a by no means inconsiderable class, who are greatly in need of counsel and resource - sufferers from bladder or prostate disease or kindred affections, who in too many cases enduring the privation, exhaustion, and anguish which these maladies frequently entail, find small con solation in the traditional treatment of the Faculty. As a Specialist in bladder diseases, the writer years ago saw the helplessness of practitioners, however eminent, in serious cases of the kind, and the inutility of the means employed to meet them - indeed, it may be said generally the lack of any means worthy of the name. Bladder and prostate diseases, as they presented themselves in practice were, as they are still, largely set down as chronic, obscure, and incurable.
