Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, 1874, Vol. 20 Here is a result reached at the end of seven or eight years, by which this man's bladder is at last in the way of being regularly relieved without painful and damaging effort. I trust he will be saved from stone, although he did incur the danger of retention as I had foretold; for he can empty his bladder thoroughly now, and also wash it out with warm water at will, if necessary. But it is very clear to me, after observing his case through all these years, that if the patient had gone to work when he first applied to me for relief, and learned within the year to help himself with the catheter, he would have saved himself both time and torment, and that at this moment his bladder and kidneys would be in better con dition to serve him for the next ten years.
