Excerpt from Diseases of the Nose, Throat and EarIn response to many requests a section on Diseases of the Ear has been added. The senior author considers himself fortunate in having enlisted the cooperation of Dr. Bryant, to whom he wishes to accord all credit and responsibility for the work done and views expressed in that department.Finally the authors desire to make joint acknowledgment to their colleagues for helpful suggestions and to their publishers for the care with which their ideas have been executed. We owe especial thanks to Dr. Freer, of Chicago, and Dr. Jackson, of Pittsburgh, as well as to various surgical instrument makers for courtesy shown in permission to make use of certain illustrations. Many of those in the pages devoted to the ear are original and are now for the first time published. The volume is offered to the profession in the hope that it may be found a useful and reliable guide.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
