Clinical Illustrations of the Diseases of the Fallopian Tubes and of Tubal Gestation - A Series of Drawings With Descriptive Text and Histories of the Cases #270280

A word remains to be said with regard to the frontispiece. It seemed to me that it would be useful, and not inappropriate, to preface a series of drawings of diseased Fallopian tubes with a drawing of the normal tubes. An attempt has here been made to depict the parts as they are found in the living subject. All the existing drawings of this anatomical region with which I am acquainted are more or less unsatisfactory. They either err on the side of being too diagram matic, or they are too obviously drawn from dissecting-room_ specimens that have been pinned out for display without regard to the natural relations of the various adjacent parts. Good drawing of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and broad ligaments as seen from behind in 'the healthy adult has long been a desid'eratum. I must leave my readers to say how far this want has been met by the drawing here presented.
