To make it more truly a clinical manual of the diseases of the ear has been his chief aim. The opportunities which he has had for the study and treatment of all the varieties of diseases of the ear have been increased since the publication of the first edition, and he has been in no haste to present to his professional brethren crude statements based on the results of a few cases treated. He has added to his twenty-nine (29) years' experience, that at Howard Hospital and a still more extended one at Jefferson Medical College Hospital; this latter during the last six years has numbered ten thousand two hundred cases. At each first visit a full history is taken, and daily notes are added, so that each case can be referred to and utilized in contributing to aural surgery and reporting otological novel ties, testing various forms of treatment, arranging statistics, etc. In all, two hundred and ninety-four operations were performed, such as those for traumatism, the removal of tumors (fibroid, polypoid, sebaceous, paracentesis of the membrana tympani, tenotomy of the tensor tympani, perfora tion of the mastoid process (for abscess), Wilde's post-aural incision for periostitis, incision for supra and post-auricular subcutaneous inflammation, removal of foreign bodies from the external auditory meatus, tympanum, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Diseases of the Throat, Nose and Ear: A Clinical Manual for Students and Practitioners The last few years have been characterised by great literary activity in the domains of Laryngology, Rhinology, and Otology. Keeping before me the requirements of the practitioner, I have endeavoured to incorporate in this edition all that is of real andproved clinicalvalue.This is aiming at a high ideal, and itis more than probable that I may have failed to refer to some work which ought to have been mentioned. I trust, however, that my sins of omission have not been numerous, and that the immense amount of literature to be sifted in keeping such a work as this from falling behind the times, will be accepted as my excuse. The whole book has been carefully revised, and in parts rewritten, so that I think it will be found up to date in all essentials. In conclusion, I beg to tender my thanks to Drs.
