Excerpt from The Electric Illumination of the Bladder and Urethra: As a Means of Diagnosis of Obscure Vesico Urethral Diseases The following pages embrace the substance of two clinical lectures which I delivered at the commencement of this year at the London Hospital (January 27th) and at St. Peter's Hospital for Urinary Diseases (February 15th) upon the value of electric illumination of the bladder and urethra in the diagnosis of obscure vesico-urethral diseases (the Nitze method). I had previously demonstrated the construction of the instruments required for carrying out the examinations, - the Nitze incandescent-lamp cystoscope; the Leiter incandescent-lamp cystoscope; the Leiter incandescent-lamp urethroscope, and Schall's batteries, at a meeting of the Medical Society, January 23rd.
