Book Description

Excerpt from First Principles of Otology: A Text-Book for Medical Students The complaint has frequently been made - and rightly, as I believe - that the larger treatises on otology contain a great deal of material which, however useful it may be to men who propose to treat diseases of the ear, is practically of little value to medical students, of whom a knowledge of only the first principles of this branch of surgery is required for graduation. For such readers, therefore, a much smaller work - one that treats only of the fundamental facts and theories relating to the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and therapeutics of the ear - should amply suffice. The present little book is the outcome of an attempt to supply such a manual for the exclusive use of undergraduate medi cal students. Albert H. Buck.
