Excerpt from Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat: Medical and Surgical IN presenting the Fourth Edition of this textbook, I desire to express my grateful appreciation Of the generous support accorded by my confreres, _ especially the teachers of oto - laryngology, by medical students, and the medical profession in general. Its adoption as the standard textbook by the majority of'the Medi cal Schools o.i the Country, together with the rapid exhaustion of the Third Edition, has encouraged me to revise the subject-matter in many particulars, and to add several items of new and up - to -date material. Especially has it been my desire to thoroughly Americanize this volume, by giving preference to the achievements of American otolo gists, rhinologists, and laryngologists. In line with this idea, I have eliminated the former chapter on Suspension Laryngoscopy and have introduced a new chapter upon this topic, illustrated with the Lynch instruments. I have also given a plain statement of the present status of the Hay Fever problem, commented upon the suction treatment of Nasal Accessory Sinus affections, and I have amplified the text relating to Ozena, the treatment of the diseased tonsil in adults, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Parker states that 80 per cent, of larynxes are abnormal in phthisis, 50 per cent, being non-tuberculous lesions due to irritation of the cough and sputum, ami 30 per cent, to true tubercle involvement. Kidd states that in 50 per cent, of the fatal phthisis cases there is some tuberculous lesion in the larynx, and clinically he observed it in 20 to 25 per cent, of cases. Laryngeal tuberculosis is more common in men than in women, about 24 to 1, and it is very rare under ten years of age. Lake reports two cases of laryngeal infection from tuberculosis of the ear. The laryngeal invasion may occur very early in the history of lung involvement, and be unilateral or bilateral. The point of entrance is said to be through the gland ducts in the ventricles (Wood), but the path of infection may-be by direct inoculation, and also through the blood-stream. Simple lesions of the larynx are extremely common in phthisis due to coughing, which produces congestion. These abnormalities consist in anemic areas, chronic laryngitis, and abrasions, and they are due to irritation of the sputum or to the strain of coughing. Congested vessels are often seen coursing over anemic areas in the epiglottis, ventricular bands, and arytenoids, the rest of the mucous membrane being normal. Hyperemia of the vocal cords is common, even though the surrounding mucosa is anemic. The disease appears to start in the lymphatics within the larynx. The arytenoid and interarytenoid spaces are generously supplied with lymphatics, and hence are most frequently involved. Ulceration occurs early where the parts are subject to attrition, such as the cords or vocal pr...
