Porneiopathology: A Popular Treatise on Venereal and Other Diseases of the Male and Female Genital System; With Remarks on Impotence, Onanism, Sterility, Piles, and Gravel, and Prescriptions for Their Treatment
Culverwell, Robert James
Genitourinary organs -- Diseases; Sexual health; Sexually transmitted diseases
Page 200 — “bladders” changed to “bladder” (into the bladder whence it
is voided)
Page 214 — “pharmacopœa” changed to “pharmacopœia” (of our pharmacopœia)
In anatomical references, the book uses “chord” throughout in place of
“cord” — see for example “umbilical chord” and “spermatic chord”.
There are seventy-nine treatment recipes/formulæ (“Forms”) in the
book. All are printed in a similar style. However fifty-five appear as
footnotes while the rest appear in page text. For ease of reference in
the transcription, all the footnoted Forms have been gathered together
and moved to a new FORMULÆ annex at the end of the book. Minor changes
to the page text consequent on the new arrangement are as follows:
Page 31 — “[See annexed Formulæ 2, 3, 4, 5.]” changed to “[See Forms
2, 3, 4, 5 in Formulæ annex.]”
Page 33 — “Subjoined are” changed to “See Formulæ annex for”
Page 34 — “(see note)” changed to “(see Formulæ annex)”
While the original style and content of the seventy-nine Forms has
been carefully preserved, minor corrections to the layout of some have
been made so that all are displayed to the reader in a consistent
format. This avoids small but distracting variations on a page that
look like errors in transcription. For the same reason, variations in
the spelling of dosage measures in the Forms have been regularised.
Thus “table spoonful”, “table-spoonful” and “tablespoonful” all appear
as “tablespoonful”. Similarly for “teaspoonful” and “wineglassful”.
Plural forms have been changed in the same way. For consistency, the
regularising of these words has also been applied to their appearance
elsewhere in the body text.
Ordinary footnotes have been re-indexed using numbers and moved to a
FOOTNOTES section placed after the FORMULÆ annex.
