l in the management of these cases.

GREAT SKILL REQUIRED. The urethra is a sensitive and delicate canal, and
is surrounded by tissues the most delicate, and lined with mucous
membrane which is highly vascular and filled with sensitive nerves. The
introduction of any instrument is to be undertaken only when absolutely
required, and, when necessary, it should be so skillfully and carefully
effected that no pain or irritation can result. The slightest
awkwardness is liable to cause an unnoticeable injury, which results in
false passage or an effusion of plastic lymph around the canal, and as
it organizes, the formation of the most troublesome organic stricture.
The attention not only of sufferers, but also of the profession, is
called to the remarkable success of our operation, perineal section, by
which a cure of extremely bad cases of impassable stricture and false
passages, or urinary fistulas, is effected in from thirty to forty days,
and with very little suffering. That we have been successful in such
cases must be considered as conclusive evidence that no case of
stricture, false passage, or urinary fistula, is beyond the reach of our
skill.

TESTIMONIALS.

In a practice embracing the treatment of a vast number of cases of
diseases of the Urinary Organs, it has been our good fortune to effect
many remarkable cures. The experience gained in this field of practice
has made our specialists skilled experts, and hence hundreds consult
them as a last resort. In fact we seldom get a case, in this line, that
has not been the rounds of the home physicians before applying to us for
relief and cure. The cures, therefore, which we shall introduce here are
the more remarkable because of the failure, in nearly every case, of
other medical men to benefit or cure. They are not the every-day,
ordinary cases met with in the general practitioner's rounds, but
complicated, obstinate ones, which had generally been given up as
hopeless before coming to us.

_Gentlemen_--I think it my duty to write to you concerning my case. In
the year 1886 I was seized with inflammation of the bladder and passed
nothing but thick blood, owing to heavy work, and I consulted a doctor
and he said there was no cure for such a bad case; b
