Excerpt from Combined Gynecological Operations
Medical Journal, May 18, the scope of which is, however, more limited than that of the present paper.
Summary. - The tendency of modern gynecology is to progress in a surgical direction.
The uncertainties and unreliability of other methods of treatment as compared with the results obtained by surgical measures are proverbial.
With the rapid strides forward of surgical gynecology, this contrast is daily becoming more accentuated.
Increased confidence in results growing from increased experience and progressive skill will incline the individual Operator more and more to trust to surgical resources.

Excerpt from Tubal and Peritoneal Tuberculosis With Special Reference to Diagnosis
On account of the almost moribund condition of the patient and the profound syphilitic cachexia, operation was not urged and the patient left the hospital.
Summary. - There seems to be a difference in the clinical features of cases of peritoneal and tubal tuberculosis as they present themselves to the general practitioner and to the gyne oologist. The latter is more likely to see cases in which the disease is limited to the abdominal and pelvic cavities.
For purposes of clinical study peritoneal tuberculosis may be classified as tuberculosis with, and tuberculosis without, ascites.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

George Michael Edebohls was an American surgeon, whose work was related to women's needs.
Background
George M. Edebohls was born on May 8, 1853, in Manhattan, New York, the son of Henry Edebohls and Catherine Brull, German immigrants, who came to the United States about 1843. His father, a Hanoverian, was a dairyman in that part of Manhattan known as "Little Germany. "
Education
As a boy Edebohls attended De La Salle Institute and St. Francis Xavier’s College, from which he went to St. John’s College, Fordham, New York, graduating with bachelor's degree in 1871.
Edebohls then studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia College (Doctor of Medicine degree in 1875), and for nearly five years thereafter served as a house officer in St. Francis’ Hospital, New York City, where he received a wide training and came into close contact with the poor of the East Side.
In 1880, Edebohls went to Europe intending to study diseases of the eye and ear. He evidently abandoned this idea and occupied his time by filling in the gaps in his theoretical knowledge.
Career
On his return Edebohls engaged in general practise, but with only moderate success.
He then turned his attention to gynaecology and in 1887 was appointed gynaecologist to St. Francis’ Hospital. Possessing a cool head, dextrous fingers and an excellent knowledge of anatomy, he soon earned a reputation as a gynaecologist of sound judgment.
His minor contributions to medicine were technical. He invented an operating table, a speculum, leg holders, needle holders and other devices.
His name will go down to posterity, however, as the originator of Edebohls’s operation for Bright’s disease, which consisted in exposing the diseased kidneys and stripping off their fibrous coverings or capsules. Though the practise received much unfavorable comment at the time and is now seldom used, the idea underlying it was original and theoretically plausible.
Edebohls’s contemporaries held him in high esteem both as a surgeon and as a man. He disliked controversy, feeling that whatever he contributed to the advance of the medicine of his day should stand or fall on its merits. He was an excellent teacher, presenting his subject clearly and simply.
Edebohls also wrote well, and in addition to his Surgical Treatment of Bright’s Disease (1904) contributed freely to the medical literature of his day.
While visiting his married daughter in Mexico in 1907 he, with his wife and two sons, contracted typhus fever, of which his eldest son died. The disease is said to have left him in a weakened condition. George M. Edebohls died on August 8, 1908, in New York City, New York, of Hodgkin’s disease. He was buried at Blauvelt, New York, where his father had owned a farm when he was a boy.
Achievements
George Michael Edebohls was a leading surgeon of his time-known for dealing with Brights disease. He also was an early advocate of accomplishing multiple procedures during surgery.
