    A NEW METHOD OF TREATING STRICTURES OF THE URETHRA, AFTER EXTERNAL SECTIONS. BY C. H. MASTIN, M. D., MOBILE, ALA. [Head by Request before the Mobile Pathological Society.] Gentlemen,—It is not my intention to consume your time with a didactic article upon Urethral Stricture, I only propose to call the attention of the Society to a modification of an operation, which, in my hands, has afforded unusual results; and, by comparison with other methods, to try and point out certain ottier advantages which I believe its adoption will fur- nish. This article is written especially as a prelude to a report of cases; cases which many of you have seen, and which will be given to illustrate the proceeding which I have adopted; a pro- ceeding which shall be recorded with an accurate truthfulness as to results. As yet I do not claim this method to^be perfect, or that we will in all cases meet with invariable success.
