Excerpt from Diagnosis and Treatment of Hemorrhoids and Other Non-Malignant Rectal Diseases
In preparing this hand-book, the object will be to give in plain and comprehensive language, as briefly as possible and with little discussion, a few general rules, which, if even approximately observed, can but lead to success in the treatment of all non-malignant rectal diseases commonly known, and for which the general practitioner will not infrequently be called upon for relief.
Hemorrhoids, being by far the most common among this class of ailments in private practice, and the greatest bone of contention relative to the best manner of effecting a radical cure, will take precedence in our consideration, and receive the attention that their importance and dignity justify merit.
It is an indisputable fact that until within the past few years, an operation for the radical cure of hemorrhoids was considered so formidable an undertaking, that their treatment, outside of palliative measures, was almost entirely eschewed by the general practitioner.
"No fact is better known to the profession," says Dr. S. S. Turner, U. S. Army, "than that nearly all men, doctors not excepted, will suffer more than the pain and inconvenience of a thousand operations, rather than undergo an operation for removal by any of the methods in vogue. The fame of some specialists who are distant enough to "lend enchantment to the view," will generally induce people of large means when life has become something of a burden, to place themselves under their care and take what they offer; but unfortunately, piles are not limited to people of large means.
