Austin 862; Evans 27084; Heirs of Hippocrates 652: "Hamilton was the 
first to distinguish and describe uterine and vaginal discharge and he 
promoted the concept of the perineum as supporting the pelvic 
structure.... The American edition of his later publication, TREATISE ON 
THE MANAGEMENT OF FEMALE COMPLAINTS (1793), is the first American 
publication devoted to the subject of gynecology." (#017239)        $750
