ave never failed to secure the
happiest results from our operation. The saving of time is also of
importance to the laboring man as well as to the millionaire. Instead of
being confined to his bed for ten to twenty days, and to his room for a
month or more, as is the case following other operations, the patient is
not confined to bed at all, and can generally return home in a week or
ten days at the longest. The only precaution necessary is that he
should, for a reasonable time after the operation, wear a well-fitting
suspensory bandage. This can, in a little time, be entirely dispensed
with. When we contrast these results with those obtained from ligation,
graduated pressure by "clamps," suture pins, or the slicing off of a
part of the scrotum, and suturing, or stitching, the wide gaping wound
so caused, as is practiced to-day by other surgeons, the marked
superiority of the results obtained, through our superior method of
operating on this affection, must be apparent.
A very large part of those cured by our treatment have previously spent
far more money for worthless "electric suspensories," "equable scrotal
compressors," "scrotal clamps," various "rings," and other "jim cracks,"
than was paid us _for a radical and permanent cure_. Some of these
instruments are so formidable as to suggest the racks and thumbscrews of
the middle ages. Such useless appliances often weaken the scrotal
muscles by the unnatural compression which they produce and make the
discomfort far worse when they are discontinued than before their use.
For such cases as cannot come to us at once for an immediate and
_perfect cure_, we have a common sense method of treatment,
comparatively inexpensive, that gives relief and comfort in all cases,
and in mild cases often effects a complete cure. This treatment leaves
the scrotum and its contents in an improved, strengthened and more
healthful state.
