Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Gynecology The author has attempted in this volume, so far as it is possible to do so on the printed page, to present the arrangement of the subject he has used in teaching during the last twenty years. His aim has been to present the subject concisely, accurately and without unnecessary waste of space. In several sections, notably those on the injuries of childbirth, their consequences, diseases of the breasts and hemorrhage, he has thought it best to consider the subject from the point of view of both the obstetrician and the gynecologist, as the two are so intimately connected that to present it in any other way would be at the expense of thoroughness and clarity. Throughout the book, an effort has been made to omit unprofitable discussion, and to give to the student, be he graduate or undergraduate, at least one method of treatment which has proven its value, as a basis on which to build as suggested by the individual's own experience. A special chapter deals with leukorrhea alone, one of the commonest disorders for which a patient consults her physician, and yet one which, because it is a symptom and not usually a primary condition, is too frequently passed over in the discussion of its primary cause. The operation of dilatation and curettage of the uterus - in the author's opinion is one of the most important, because of its supposed minor character - has been given somewhat extended space, being described three times, as its technic varies slightly for different indications.
