Excerpt from A d104-Book of Genito-Urinary Diseases, Including Functional Sexual Disorders in Man The cordial relations which have long existed between Germany and America, and which it has recently been endeavored to make more intimate, are better expressed by acts than by words. Accordingly it affords me great pleasure to see my d104-Book of Urology appear in American vesture. An English-speaking surgeon first led me into the realm of genitourinary diseases, and it is with a feeling of satisfaction and gratitude that I think of him, my honored teacher, Sir Henry Thompson, of London. Although his profoundly scientific yet withal eminently practical publications were familiar to English-speaking nations, they were little known in Germany, and so, twenty years ago, I became his exponent, translating and publishing his "Stricture of the Urethra" and "Lectures on Diseases of the Urinary Organs." I hope the following pages will prove to my American and English colleagues that Sir Henry's teaching fell upon fertile soil; and that they will show how urology has developed both as to scientific advancement and technical improvement. I take this opportunity to thank my colleague, Dr. Bonney, for the diligence, comprehensive knowledge, and unremitting interest which he has manifested in the work of translating and editing the book.
