Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat: A Manual for Students and Practitioners Nearly all the affections of the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat are more or less briefly described in this volume, the more common being treated with a fulness commensurate with their importance. Descriptive anatomy of the various regions has been omitted; but in its place are numerous anatomical figures with appropriate legends. The section on the Diseases of the Eye is intended especially for medical students and the general practitioner. Hence, tor the sake of the former, nomenclature and classification have been made, it is hoped, much less complex than is the case in the ordinary text-book; while for the sake of the latter, those diseases of the eye for which the general practitioner is expected to prescribe are fully dwelt upon, especially those the proper diagnosis of which will lead to recognition of general diseases. The purely technical aspect of refractive errors, etc., is necessarily limited, but has been given in all its essential points. In the section on the Ear the physiologic tests of hearing are given considerable prominence, as the author believes them to be of great value in the diagnosis of the lesions of the Middle Ear and Labyrinth. Suppurative discuses of the middle ear and mastoid are described fully, with especial reference to the pathology of chronic suppuration, caries, and necrosis.
