Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Coulson on the Diseases of the Bladder and Prostate Gland
Twenty-three years having elapsed since the publica tion of the fifth edition of this work, numerous alterations have now been found necessary. Nearly all the chapters have been re-written, and several additions have been made to their number. The chapter on the chemistry of the urine, with which former editions commenced, has now been omit ted; the subject being too extensive to admit of suitable treatment in a work like the present. In its place will _be found chapters on the anatomy and physiology of the blad der and prostate, and on the methods of examining those organs.
The importance of the preventive treatment of calculus being now fully recognized, an attempt has been made to give as complete an account as possible of the causes to which stone-formation is due, and of the conditions under which it takes place. Numerous facts relating to the prevalence of calculus in several parts of the world. And under various con ditions of life, etc., will be found in the chapter on the causes of stone.
