Book Description
Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 65: January, 1873-April, 1873 Art. II. - Venereal Stricture of the Rectum. By erskine mason, M.D., Adjunct Professor of Surgery in the University Of New York; Visiting Surgeon to the Charity and the Roosevelt Hospitals, New York. When beginning my visits, some six years ago, as surgeon to Charity Hospital, my attention was arrested by the number of cases of stricture of the rectum in the wards. These cases all occurred in the female wards and among those who were regarded as syphilitic patients. I then viewed these strictures as one Of the manifestations of constitutional infection, and, in addition to local treatment by the introduction of bougies, had them placed under anti-syphilitic remedies, indeed some Of them had been already under this treatment for some time. Upon consulting several surgical authors, I found that this was both the Opinion entertained by them and the course of treatment recommended.
