Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat: Medical and Surgical

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.
