Excerpt from Diseases of the Ear It seems hardly possible to the author that a quarter of a century has elapsed since the appearance of the first edition of this work in 1894. Perhaps in no other branch of medicine or surgery have more advances been made than in Otology. Successive editions of this work have appeared from time to time, it having been the purpose of the author, as well as of the publishers, to keep the work fully abreast with the advance of modern medicine and surgery. Since the appearance of the last edition so much advance has been made in diseases of the labyrinth, and the great importance of labyrinthine lesions has been so fully recognized that it has seemed necessary to elaborate upon this portion of the work. For this reason an entirely new chapter on the functional testing of the static labyrinth has been added. This chapter has been fully illustrated by line drawings, and it is the hope of the author that this additional chapter may be of great practical value to his readers. The chapter on specific inflammation of the labyrinth has also been practically rewritten, so as to give the readers the advantages of the latest methods of treatment. One plate has been added, but aside from this the body of the work remains essentially the same. Lithographic plates 9, 10, and 11 have been omitted from this edition. Plate 11 was practically out of date, and plates 9 and 10, while beautiful specimens of the lithographer's art, and reflecting great credit upon my friend, Dr. W. A. Holden, who was kind enough to draw these plates from nature, do not seem to possess enough practical value to warrant their continuance in this last edition. One new plate, which has appeared in an article by the author subsequent to the publication of the last edition, is embodied in this volume. Certain changes have been made in the text where experience has made it necessary for the author to modify opinions previously held. Certain statistics have been changed also so as to include the experience of the last ten years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of the Diseases of the Ear The justification for the appearance of an English edition Of this text-book will be at once admitted, both on the ground of the position of the author in regard to the specialty, and also from the universal recognition Of the value of his treatise by those acquainted with the original. The size of the book is somewhat lessened, although a few additions have been made, and no matter Of importance has been omitted; while the German text has been faithfully followed. Reference must be made to the exceptional excellence of the illustrations, and more especially to the coloured figures in the plates, which form indeed a complete atlas Of the appearances exhibited by the tympanic membrane in different pathological conditions.

Excerpt from Diseases of the Nose, Throat and Ear In response to many requests a section on Diseases of the Ear has been added.

Excerpt from Diseases of the Throat, Nose and Ear This book has been written from the practical point of view, and for that reason many interesting scientific problems and issues have necessarily been omitted. On the other hand, considerable attention has been devoted to operative surgery, but here, also, limitation of space has rendered it impossible to describe the many modifications and variations of the operations. In addition to the acknowledgments for the use of illustrations borrowed from other sources, I desire to offer my sincere thanks to Dr. Robert Knox, Dr. Andrew Wylie, Dr. William Hill, Dr. Irwin Moore, Mr. W. M. Mollison, and Mr. J. Gay French for kindly granting me the loan of valuable blocks. The original illustrations are for the most part the production of Mr. S. A. Sewell, who has succeeded admirably in giving pictorial expression to my suggestions and ideas. For the photographs, I am indebted to the careful skill of Mr. J. Peach, of the Central London Throat and Ear Hospital. The original of the coloured frontispiece is one of the drawings executed for Sir Morell Mackenzie by Lennox Browne, for long in the possession of Mr. E. Mayer, of Messrs. Mayer and Phelps, and recently presented by him, together with manuscripts and instruments belonging to Mackenzie, to the Royal Society of Medicine. As far as I am aware, the drawing has never before been reproduced. I am deeply conscious of the debt I owe to Mr. Mayer for his generous permission to use this historical picture, and I am confident that all readers who benefit by its clear and graphic representation of the laryngeal features in recurrent laryngeal paralysis, will share my feeling of gratitude.

Excerpt from Diseases of the Nose, Pharynx, and Ear This volume is intended to present disease as the author has seen it during an experience of nearly twenty-five years, while in touch with the work of others. It has been the authors aim to answer in detail those questions regarding the course and outcome of diseases which cause the less experienced observer the most anxiety in an individual case - questions to which an answer is not easily obtained from text-books. In order to carry out this plan, the book could not be written with the brevity and sharp subdivision of topics which have made some of the smaller works popular with students. A textbook should present to the student all the facts bearing on the subject, and present them in their logical development. But, on the other hand, the work is not intended as an encyclopedic treatise, and hence lacks the literary and historical completeness proper to the latter. In the therapeutic part the author has aimed to detail only those procedures which have stood the test of critical experience, and to omit those that have failed under this test, even though sanctioned by the tradition of text-books. As a requisite for all surgical work, topographic anatomy has been given a liberal space. Since anatomic statements are necessarily based upon the labor of professional anatomists, it has seemed proper to the author to draw, as well, upon the superior illustrations in some of the anatomic works less accessible to the English student. It is especially to the works of Zuckerkandl and of Politzer to which he is indebted for anatomic illustrations.
