Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Impotence, Sterility and Allied Disorders of the Male Sexual Organs The rapid exhaustion of two large editions of this work, the favorable comments which it has received from the 'periodical press, its' translation into the Russian language, and the fact that it has been out of print for several months, constitute valid evidence that it' has filled the void for which it was originally designed. AS was stated in the first edition, of the affections discussed in this brochure at least two - Impotence and Spermatorrhoea - are commonly described as functional diseases of the testicles; while, according to my observations, they usually depend upon reflex disturbances of the genitospinal centre, and are almost invariably induced or maintained by appreciable lesions of the prostatic portion of the uretura, which, as they may not be perceived by the patient, are frequently overlooked by the physician. A more ex tended knowledge of these pathological facts, it is hoped, will afford a more rational and simple basis for treatment.
