Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diseases of the Colon and Their Surgical Treatment
Until comparatively recently, diseases of the colon had received but scant attention, and with the exception of cancer and amoebic dysentery, little was known about the pathological conditions which occur in this portion of the alimentary tract. Everybody was treating constipation, but few knew anything about its causes. Within the last few years, however, chie?y as the result of better methods of diagnosis, our knowledge with regard to diseases of the colon has been much increased.
