Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Observations on Some of the Diseases of the Rectum, Anus, and Contiguous Textures The object of the present work is simply to call the atten tion of the non-medical reader to a class of diseases of most frequent occurrence, and which, as a general rule, are but very imperfectly understood by him; diseases too, to which he is daily liable, or from some one of which he is already suffering. This work will point out in a concise, plain and familiar manner the ezia - ct location of each disease its nature, its principal causes, its most prominent symptoms, the evil consequences of procrastinating its proper or judicious treat ment, as well as the numerous, inefficacious and often extremely. Dangerous, painful and cruel methods which are at the present day advocated and adopted for its relief. This information will enable the general reader to avoid the causes of those diseases, and thus to remain free from their annoy ance; and it will also enable him, should he be so unfortu' nate as to be afflicted with any of them, to guard against the vile practices of the ignorant and presumptuous empiric, as well' as, to shun the unnecessary, the cruel and dangerous operations of the scientific surgeon, commonly so called; but often in reality, nothing more than the mere operator.
