A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES, INJURIES, AND 



MALFORMATIONS OF THE URINARY BLADDER, THE PROSTATE GLAND, AND 

 THE URETHRA. Second Edition, revised and much enlarged, with one hundred and eighty- 

 tour illustrations. In one large and very handsome octavo volume, of over nine hundred pages. 

 (Now Ready.) 



The author has availed himself of the opportunity afforded by a call for a new edition of this 

 work, to thoroughly revise and render it in every respect worthy, so lor as in his power, of the very 

 flattering reception whicn has been accorded to it by the profession. The new matter thus added 

 amounts to almost one-third of the original work, while the number of illustrations has been nearly 

 doubled. These additions pervade every portion of the work, which thus has rather the aspect of 

 a new treatise than a new edition. In its present improved form, therefore, it may confidently be 

 presented as a complete and reliable storehouse of information on this important class of diseases, 

 and as in every way fitted to maintain the position which it has acquired in Europe and in this 

 country, as the standard of authority on the subjects treated of.
