Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...that an internal organ may also be engaged; when, from the sallow and haggard appearance of the patient, the sys7 tern appears cachectic; or when the disease has been for a long time stationary.

With respect to the ultimate success of the operation, Leroy d'Eti-olles is of opinion, from the examination of several hundred cases, that life is never prolonged by it. Numerous instances are, however, recorded by the best British surgeons, which present a more encouraging prospect; but it must always be remembered, that the earlier the operation is performed, the greater is the chance of success. Some authors are of opinion that it may be sometimes proper to remove the disease after ulceration has set in, and when the constitution is manifestly affected; on the ground that a clean wound is thereby substituted for an unhealthy painful ulcer; but as the relief thus afforded is only temporary, and as the progress of the disease is almost certainly hastened, the advice does not seem to rest on justifiable grounds. See Sennet on Cancerous and Cancroid Growths; Carswell, Fascic Cancer; Muller on Cancer; Trovers, in Med. Chir. Trans, vol. zv.; Walshe on Cancer. CHAPTER III. VENEREAL DISEASE. Under the name " venereal " we mean to include all those affections which arise from, and are communicable by, impure intercourse; and these have been usually divided into two classes, termed respectively gonerrluea and syphilis or lues....
