    PREFACE This book on the diseases of women has been prepared as a companion volume to the author's Text-book of Obstetrics, the two volumes covering the whole subject of gynecology. It is based on an experience of twenty years. The illustrations are mainly original, for the most part from the author's service in the Howard Hospital, of Philadelphia. The others are properly credited. The micro-photographs were prepared by Drs. J. C. Hirst and McConnell. The section on anesthetics is written by Dr. R. F. Roller, the author's anesthe- tizer. A special effort has been made to describe the palliative treatment of diseases of women and such curative treatment as can be carried out by the general physician. A separate section has been devoted to the detailed description of modern operative technic. The anatomical, rather than the pathological, classification of diseases of women has been adopted, as in the author's judg- ment the most logical and convenient. The aim of the work is to present a concise description of all the diseases peculiar to women, with especial attention to diag- nosis and treatment, adapted to the needs of the medical student, the general physician, and the specialist. 1821 Spruce Street, September 1, 1903.
