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.

The authors of this volume tried not to confine their presentations to pathology in Northern Europe given differences in the presentation of pathology in developed and the developing countries and the popularity of this book in Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, and South East Asia. This book is organized into four main sections. The first three sections cover the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the nose, head and neck, and the ear. The final section deals with pediatric otalaryngology. Several changes were made in this tenth volume. These include the presentation of otology, audiology, and otoneurology as an integrated whole; the rewriting of the section of rhinology; addition of a section on pediatric otolaryngology; and modification and expansion of the section on head and neck surgery.
