Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of Women: For Students and Practitioners This book is the natural outgrowth of the author's Diagnosis of Diseases of Women. Much that was contained in the former work has been revised, the subjects have been reclassified, and more than an equal amount of text and illustrations has been added for the purpose of making a complete text-book on the subject of diseases of women. It has been the endeavor of the author to present the subject in detail without encumbering the text with needless repetitions. With this object in View, separate chapters are devoted to the subjects of N on operative Methods of Treatment, Hygiene and Dress, Preparation of Patient for Operation, Preparation of Operating Room, Field of Operation and Surgical Utensils, Choice of Anesthetics, Diet, Post operative Complications and Care of Patients after Operation, and frequent references are made to these subjects throughout the text. An effort has been made to give full scope to the discussion of conservative methods of treatment, such as douches, baths, exercise, massage, diet, dress, and tampons. The author is of the opinion that the non-operative methods of treatment of diseases of women have not received their due share of consideration In text-books and in practice which they rightly deserve. The subject of diagnosis has been placed on an anatomical basis, both macroscopic and microscopic, for' it is preeminently true of diseases of women that the making of a diagnosis is in large part the recognition of the morbid anatomy.
