Excerpt from The San Francisco Medical Press, Vol. 2: January 1861 We make pressure upon the outside of the penis, by means of collodion. The entire penis is covered by successive coat ings of collodion, until the organ is contracted to one-half or one-third its natural size, care being taken to extend the penis, and retract the integuments at its root, in order that as large a portion of it may be brought under the influence of pressure as possible. One coating of collodion should be permitted to dry before another is used. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
