Treatment of hemorrhoids, and other non-malignant rectal diseases

"Treatment of Hemorrhoids, and Other Non-Malignant Rectal Diseases" by W. P. Agnew is a guide from the 1800s focused on helping doctors deal with common rectal problems. The handbook emphasizes the value of recognizing and treating hemorrhoids, a widespread condition, by giving doctors strategies for treating ailments in the rectum without surgery. Agnew introduces the idea of using carbolic acid injections as a less scary method. It gives a simple tour of looking at hemorrhoids, along with directions that show the best way to get ready before doctors take action. The book underlines how surgical methods have changed and why ordinary doctors should know how to care for these problems.
