On the Diseases, Injuries, and Malformations of the Rectum and Anus, With Remarks on Habitual Constipation: From the Third and Enlarged English Edition (Classic Reprint)

Continental and American journals, are most gratifying to me, as affording evidence that my labors for the alleviation of human suffering, in directing the attention of the profession to the symptoms, causes, and treatment of an important class of diseases, which has hitherto been but superficially noticed by surgical writers generally, and but imperfectly understood by many of the profession, have not been unsuccessful. For nearly twelve months the second edition of the work has been out of print; and I regret that professional demands on my time have not admitted the preparation of a third edition for the press at an earlier period. The same arrangement of the contents is observed as in the previous editions, and the same principles of treatment advocated, the soundness and correctness of which are confirmed by very considerable practical experience.
