Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs in Childhood, Youth, Adult Age, and Advanced Life: Considered in Their Physiological, Social, and Moral Relations

I have in the following pages treated of the Functions and Disorders, as distinguished from the Anatomy and Pathology, of the reproductive organs. On the latter topics there are many excellent and exhaustive works, but the former still need much elucidation. Until lately, indeed, many standard surgical writers on the generative' system have practically ignored the functional aspect of their subject dealing with the whole of the wonderful and complex machinery of which they treat, as if the offices it fulfills, the thousand feelings it affects, the countless social, moral, and scientific interests with which it is so inti mately connected, were of little or no moment.

A different, and, I trust, healthier feeling has arisen since the first edition of this book was published; and I think I need not here repeat the apology or defence with which the earlier editions were prefaced.
