Testimonials relating to the new circumcision apparatus invented by the author. "After seeing the operation of circumcision performed, by the Rev. A. Tertis during which he made use of his new circumcision apparatus, I have much pleasure in speaking in high terms of its use, and the great advantage as regards cleanliness, etc. over the old way of ejecting fluid from the mouth of the operator over the freshly incised wound." Edwin R. Hutton L.R.C.S. (See pp. 28-9).
