Book Description

Excerpt from Manual of Diseases of the Nose and Throat The author desires again to thank the many friends whose kindly interest in this work has brought the opportunity of another revision. Each article has been carefully considered, and changes made to conform to the advances in diagnosis and treatment. Chapter VII., on Diseases of the Accessory Sinus, has been entirely rewritten and many new cuts added, which, it is hoped, will elucidate this interesting part of the subject. It may not be amiss to point out that the purpose of this work, in its successive editions, has been to provide a compact manual answering the needs of both students and practitioners. Special attention has, therefore, been devoted to the more practical sections - namely, those on Examinations, Diagnosis, and Treatment. It is of the first. Importance that the appearances found on examina tion of a patient Should be thoroughly appreciated, and that microscopical and bacteriological investigations should be made where the nature of the morbid process is in doubt. Sufficient guidance in these directions will be found in the Work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
