    PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION In preparing the second edition of this book I have endeavored to make a thorough revision, rearranging certain sections of the text, amplifying others and adding such new material as it seemed ad- visable to incorporate. A number of American urethroscopes, cystoscopes and other in- struments have been described; the treatment of acute posterior urethritis and chronic urethritis has been more thoroughly discussed; the operation of circumcision has been carefully described, chiefly for the benefit of the general practitioner, who is often called upon to perform it; an article on the anatomy of the kidneys has been written; syphilis of the kidneys has been elaborated, and a considerable number of new editorial notes have been made. The revision of the article on the treatment of hypertrophy of the prostate has been done by Professor Casper. His views, based upon a further experience of two years with radical operations, are com- prehensively stated. A few new illustrations have been inserted, for some of which I am indebted to my student, Mr. M. L. Elsinger. To the members of the profession who have received the book so cordially, and to the reviewers and correspondents who have ex- pressed such favorable opinions of it, I hereby render sincere thanks.
