Recent post: | 1. - IN the earlier treatises on medicine Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:31:07 +0000
IN the earlier treatises on medicine diseases of women were included, but were of necessity imperfectly described.

| 2. - The whole subject is one Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:13:15 +0000
Of late years this department of medicine has grown so largely that the Editor of the new System of Medicine found it would be better to deal with it, as a whole, in a volume especially devoted to the subject; in the preparation of this volume I have assisted him as Joint Editor. The advances made within the last few years in Gynsecology are perhaps more remarkable than in any other branch of medicine. The whole subject is one of recent development.

| 3. - Much of this great progress Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:56:34 +0000
Even the work of its pioneers is within the recollection of the older amongst us : a treatise on gynaecology written twenty years ago is ab- solutely useless as a guide to the practice of to-day, and does not contain even a reference to many of the topics now known to be of primary importance in connection with diseases of the reproductive .organs in women; on the other hand, many opinions and methods of treatment, then largely taught and practised, have justly passed into oblivion. Much of this great progress is undoubtedly on the surgical aspect of the subject.

| 4. - Nor is it Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:39:07 +0000
The increasing frequency of abdominal sections has directed attention to the diseased states thus revealed, and to methods of treating them, previously quite unknown. Unbalanced zeal has had its inevitable result of injudicious practice, which is to be regretted ; against adventure of this kind protests have been made by the more conservative minded members of our profession, often justly, sometimes unjustly. Nor is it in this country alone that this adventurousness is seen.

| 5. - Conservatism of this sort may Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:25:51 +0000
Any one familiar with current gynaecological practice, both on the Continent and in the United States, must know that the same spirit is active there. Indeed, it is probable that gynaecologists abroad are apt to impute to their British colleagues a backwardness in adopting methods of treatment largely practised by themselves ; many of us think, too largely. Conservatism of this sort may have its faults, but, on the whole, it is not to be regretted, and it is surely better than to err in the opposite direction.

| 6. - I am myself alone responsible Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:06:56 +0000
It is obvious that a collection of independent essays, written by men on topics which they have specially studied, must carry more weight, and be more useful than any work compiled by a single writer. An endeavour has been made to entrust the several subjects to thoroughly representative men; and it is hoped that the results of their combined labours will give an accurate exposition of gynae- cology as it is taught and practised amongst us. I am myself alone responsible for the selection of the contributors, which my co-editor has left to my judgment; but I am not in any way responsible for the opinions th'ey have expressed, some of them, indeed, I do not share.

| 7. - In order to avoid frequent Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:49:17 +0000
In a work by various authors differences of opinion will necessarily be found ; some condemn methods of practice which others approve and recommend. This does not appear to be objectionable ; it is surely better that in vexed and disputed ques- tions both sides should be fairly considered. In order to avoid frequent interruption of the text, the Editor has only inserted the numbers indicative of items in the lists of " References " in cases of emphasis, where two or more references to one author are in the list, where an author is quoted from a work published under another name, or where an authoritative statement is made without mention of the author's name.

| 8. - Indeed, in tracing the developments Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:32:51 +0000
In ordinary cases an author's name is a sufficient indication of the corresponding item in the list. GREAT as the progress has been during the last fifty years in every domain of medicine, in no department has it been so marked as in that which embraces the diseases peculiar to women. Indeed, in tracing the developments of modern gynaecology, it is difficult for the student of our times to estimate the value of each claim to progress, and to set a just price on each alleged advance ; for it must be allowed that among many brilliant achievements many false starts have been made, and the boasted triumph of yesterday has been ranked among the failures of to-day.

| 9. - Shortly afterwards came a brief Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:17:10 +0000
Sir William Priestley, in his address before the section of Obstetric Medicine and Gynaecology, says : " Looking back on forty years of gynaecological practice, I can recollect what has been termed a craze for inflammation and ulceration of the os and cervix uteri. During its prevalence, it was said of some devotees that every woman of a house- hold was apt to be regarded as suffering from these affections, and locally treated accordingly. Shortly afterwards came a brief and not very creditable period when clitoridectomy was strongly advocated as a remedy for numerous ills.

| 10. - Again we had an epoch Post Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:04:19 +0000
This, fortunately, had a very limited currency and was speedily abandoned. Then followed a time in which displace- ment of the uterus held the field, and every backache, every pelvic dis- comfort, every general neurosis, was attributed to mechanical causes, and must needs be treated by uterine pessaries. Again we had an epoch when oophorectomy was not only recommended, and largely practised as a means of restraining haemorrhage in bleeding fibroids, but also as a remedy for certain forms of neurosis, even when the ovaries were healthy or not seriously diseased.
