Présentation de l'éditeur
In presenting what is, in reality, a third, edition to the Profession, the Author must explain his reason for abandoning the titles originally adopted, and selecting in their place a word hitherto but little known. When ihe subject first presented itself to his notice, he thought that he had to deal with a number of simple cases which could readily be recognised as being purely muscular in their origin, and he described them under the title of Certain Painful Muscular A fiections, in 1856; but he soon found that the information he had gained was capable of a wider application, and threw much light upon the mysterious subject of Sjnnal irritation, and he published an extension of the former book under the title of Spinal Irritation Explained, early in 1858. A more extended experience proved that the subject had far wider ramifications than were at first dreamed of. The Author has met with a great number of instances in which patients have been under treatment for months for a supposed uterine disease, while, in reality, they have been sufiering from pain in the pubic insertion of the rectus abdominis.
