Excerpt from On Diseases of Women and Ovarian Inflammation, in Relation to Morbid Menstruation, Sterility, Pelvic Tumours, and Affections of the Womb In noticing the many deficiencies of this work, the reader will also remember that it is the first systematic attempt to do, for the principal organs of generation in women, what has now been done for every other important organ of the body; and that, considering the rapid progress which has lately been made in ovarian physiology, it cannot be wrong if some one should seek to give to the pathology of the ovaries a development which would be greater and more satisfactory if the labourer were better able to accomplish his self-imposed task.
