In presenting this book to the medical profession, the author does so with the feeling that it will be of some assistance to that great mass who were as unfortunate as himself in their early college training in the special field of Proctology. Diseases of the Eectuni and A nus have been, and still are, in a great many colleges, dismissed with a single lecture or two, delivered as a part of the course on general surgery. The young graduate in medicine leaves his Alma Mater with a hazy idea that occasionally patients may suffer from Piles or Fistula, and an operation under general anesthesia is their only hope of relief. The fact that the profession as a whole has been so remiss in the treatment of patients suffering from rectal diseases has left the field in the past to the quack and the irregular. A few earnest practitioners, however, in different parts of the countrv, graduallv discovered that there was something more to rectal diseases than the txeatment of Piles and Fistula, and commenced the scientific study of the lower bowel with the result, that today the special field of Proctology is firmly established with conscientious workers in all parts of the world. The results of the work of some of these men have been given to the world in the shape of most complete text-books on the subject.

About the Publisher
Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention has been made to accurately preserve the original format of each page whilst digitally enhancing the aged text.
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
