Excerpt from St. Louis Courier of Medicine, 1888, Vol. 19 Such indeed have been the rapid strides in surgical gynecol ogy, and the immunity with which it is now possible to perform the gravest operations, as to have given rise to the charge that some of our brethren have been tempted to overleap the bounds of prudence and humanity in subjecting their patients to nu warranted mutilation. And this reminds me that it was time I had announced in more explicit terms, the subject of my re marks this evening. I will therefore beg you to bear with me, while we inquire as briefly as possible, What is like legitimate scope of gynecology? This is a broad question, full of sugges tions, but perhaps there is none which we may more appropri ately consider on the present occasion, in connection with the aim and object of this organization.
