Excerpt from Intubation of the Larynx

Few operations in the history of medicine have excited more wide-spread interest than intubation of the larynx. And. Like all other new operations, it has met with opposition. It has, however, fulfilled the expectation of its advocates, and rapidly. Yet surely won its way into favor, until. Even now, it fairly rivals the older operation of tracheotomy.

To Dr. Bouchut. Of Paris. We are indebted for the idea of relieving stenosis of the larynx by a tube introduced by way of the mouth.
