note book, and are, in some sense, consec- 
utive, i.e., they consist of patients who 
were treated by electrolysis for urethral 
strictures from the time of May, 1868, un- 
til November, 1879, and who were satisfi- 
ed that they were cured. Of these, only 
such cases have been enumerated which 
remained under observation from three and 
one-half to eleven years, without having 
suffered a relapse. Therefore, it is obvi- 
ous that all those patients had to be omit- 
ted from this list, who did not remain un- 
der treatment long enough, or were lost 
sight of. In the following cases we record 
the time when the patient was seen last, 
or reliable information obtained that ho 
was well, without having had any relapse 
of stricture, and how many years had pass- 
ed since he had been dismissed as cured. 
Such information has been obtained either 
from the patients themselves, or their 
friends, or through reexaminations con- 
ducted by the family physician or myself. 
In many cases 1 personally had the op- 
portunity to reexamine the patients, and 
found that the same sized bougie introdu- 
ced last, no matter how many years ago, 
passed through the urethra easily, and 
often even a larger number could be intro- 
duced with facility. The length of time 
of these observations was as follows: 
Three to four years in thirty-two cases ; 
five to six years in twenty-six cases ; sev- 
en to nine years in twenty-six cases ; ten 
years in twelve cases, and eleven years in 
one case. IIow far the calibre of the ure- 
thra was enlarged is given under the col- 
umn, “ Result, and Calibre of Urethra, 
when Discharged as Cured ”; the first part 
according to the American scale, and the 
latter cases are marked according to the

rpilE tabular statistics of these cases were 
-■ a part of my paper, entitled “ Elec- 
trolysis in Surgery,” which was read be- 
fore the Section in Surgery, at the Ameri- 
can Medical Association, in Cleveland, 
June 6th, 1883, and referred for publica- 
tion, by an unanimous vote. A fire de- 
stroyed the typo and part of the manuscript, 
in Chicago. One part was afterwards 
published in the Journal of the American 
Medical Association, April 25th, 1885. 
The present paper is, therefore, a repro- 
duction of the destroyed manuscript, and 
not published before. This explanation 
is deemed necessary for a better under- 
standing; and is a reason why these sta- 
tistics appear at this late date. The prin- 
cipal object of the tabular statement is to 
show that the one hundred cases treated 
by electrolysis have not only been dismiss- 
ed us cured, but have also been kept under 
observation, and that during a number of 
years of such observation no relapse has 
occurred. 
As these statistics were prepared for the 
meeting in June, 1S83, and the shortest 
time of observation after a cure was three 
and one-half years, it will be seen that no 
case could have been incorporated in these 
tables, which came under treatment later 
than November, 1S79. All these one 
hundred cases have been taken from mv 4 
French scale. Some critics may find fault 
that the calibre of the urethra has not 
been enlarged enough, according to their 
idea, and that a larger instrument would 
not have passed. My answer is, that I 
can enlarge the calibre as much as neces- 
sary ; that in these cases no stricture was 
found anywhere; that the patients them- 
selves were well satisfied with their ure- 
thra ; did not wish to have a larger calibre, 
even objected to continued treatment for 
such an object, and have ever since enjoy- 
ed good health for many years without 
any relapse or inconvenience. The cali- 
bre of the urethra can be enlarged and 
restored sufficiently for a cure by the elec- 
trolytic process, and in cases which have 
been treated during the last six years, 
since 1879, the calibre of the strictured 
portion has been enlarged, in most cases, 
up to No. 28 French scale, and in others 
still more. The duration of the strictures, 
at the time the patients came under treat- 
ment varied much, and was from less than 
one year up to twenty-five years dura- 
tion. 
The next point of interest is to compare 
the percentage of single and multiple stric- 
tures. Nearly one-half of the cases were 
single strictures, or more exact, 42%; 
two strictures in one patient were found in 
34% of cases ; three strictures in 17% ; 
four strictures in 5%, and five strictures in 
2%. During the latter years I have found 
as many as six strictures in one patient. 
These one hundred patients had one 
hundred and eighty-nine strictures togeth- 
er, which were situated in all parts of the 
urethra, from close to the meatus to within 
eight inches from the meatus. The exact 
location of these strictures was as fol- 
lows : 
Eight strictures were found at one inch or 
less from the meatus. 
Twelve strictures were found from one to 
two inches from the meatus. 
Thirty-one strictures were found from two 
to three inches from tho meatus. 
Twenty-five strictures were found from 
three to four inches from the meatus. 
Forty-two strictures were from four to five 
inches from the meatus. 
Thirty-seven strictures were from five to 
six inches from the meatus. 
Twenty-four strictures were from six to 
seven inches from the meatus. 
Ten strictures were from eight to nine inch- 
es from the meatus. 
While the analysis of one hundred cases 
will not warrant a correct conclusion as to 
the portion of the urethra where most stric- 
tures occur 5 nevertheless, these observa- 
tions are interesting, and they are given 
for what they are worth. 
Statistics compiled by general practi- 
tioners may vary somewhat from my ta- 
bles, because cases which come under my 
care are particularly severe, having most- 
ly been sent by other physicians, who can- 
not bestow the necessary time, or have 
not the variety of instruments needed. 
The general belief is, that most stric- 
tures are found in the spongy portion of 
the urethra, and the majority of these, 
within three inches from the meatus. My 
experience is, that strictures appear in ev- 
ery portion of the urethra, and from our 
tables of one hundred cases, the greatest 
number were situated from four to five 
inches from the meatus; about ten per 
cent, were in the membranous, and nearly 
five per cent, in the prostatic portion ; 
some of the latter were of traumatic ori- 
gin. 
Seances.—From one to ten operations, 
in some cases even more, were necessary 
for a cure, from which one may draw tho 
conclusion that the average number of 
seances was five to six for each case. 
Time.—The treatment in each case 
averaged two to three months. Lonff in- 
tervals between the seances, and iveak cur- 
rents arc rules to which I still adhere, and 
which I cannot impress too strong to ope- 
rators, as most important points in these 
operations. 5 
Observations.—The length of time 
patients were under observation, after 
they were dismissed as cured, was from 
three to eleven years, which brings the 
average time to from six to seven years in 
each case. 
For other information, I refer to my 
former papers, some of which have ap- 
peared in this valuable journal, in which 
I have given accounts of the theory and 
practice of Electrolysis in surgery, and 
particularly in the treatment of urethral 
stricture ; many cases in detail, as also a 
ten year’s experience of cases and sequels. 
As these tabular statistics speak for them- 
selves, I conclude without any further 
comment.
