INTRODUCTORY.

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, and the greatest bone of contention regarding the best manner of effecting a radical cure, will take precedence in our consideration, and receive the attention that their importance and dignity justly merits.
