Description
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 author's aim to answer in detail those ques tions 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 text book should present to the student all the facts bearing on the subject, and present them in their logical develop ment. 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 experi ence, and to omit those that have failed under this test, even though sanctioned by the tradition of text-books.
