Excerpt from Rectal and Anal Surgery: With a Description of the Secret Methods of the Itinerants
The rapid sale of the First Edition of this manual has compelled the preparation of a second much sooner than was anticipated. Advantage has been taken of the opportunity thus given to rewrite and enlarge almost every part of the work, and to introduce several new chapters and an appendix. A few cuts have also been added.
A chapter has been introduced upon the Anatomy of the Rectum, which, it is thought, will aid the explanations found in other parts of the work. Works upon general anatomy do not usually contain all that is needful for a comprehension of the questions that have been raised in rectal pathology.
A chapter on Proctitis and its treatment has also been inserted, the subject being one now clearly recognized as of clinical importance.
As in the earlier edition, the chief emphasis has been put upon the practical side of the subject, and an endeavor has been made fairly to outline all the forms of treatment for all affections, including the secret methods of the local and traveling Rectal Specialists.
