f chronic urethritis, brought about by long-continuedmasturhation^ has another significance. This form is not even rare,although its existence even has been doubted by many. We find it in young men who never have had a coitus, andactually would not be able to have it on account of total impotence. The preparation from which Plate 55 is copied comes from ayoung man who frequently attempted coitus, but unsuccessfully,the erections being too incomplete. It is entirely similar to theone represented on Plate 52, which is caused by gonorrhoea. This form of chronic urethritis gains importance by the factthat gonorrhoeal poison adheres easier to the flabby tissues, thus in-ducing greater susceptibility to gonorrhoeal infection. A gonor-rhoea once established becomes more easily chronic. This form of chronic urethritis never leads to strictures, as wefind it to be the case at times in the specific form, but it may beinfluential in the formation of prostatic hypertrophy in later years.

CHRONIC URETHRITIS IN CONSEQUENCE OF MECHANICAL ORCHEMICAL INJURIES TO THE UEETHEA. 104 CLINICAL MICROSCOPY. CHEOEIC UEETHEITIS IN CONSEQUENCE OF ME-CHANICAL OE CHEMICAL INJUEIES TO THEUEETHEA. A tliird fonn of chronic uretliritis results from meclianieal orchemical injuries to the urethra. One of the most common causesis the frequent unskillful introduction of the catheter, or its un-cleanness; further, the application of cauterizing remedies, such asthose which have to be used in spermatorrhoea. It is sufficientlywell known that the catheter in unskilled hands may be the causeof grave lesions, and we will therefore revert here only to the cau-terization of the urethra. Its results, being always of an intensenature, may be absolutely pernicious in the hands of a careless orunconscientious physician. We will briefly relate here such a case, Plate 56 representing apicture of the di
