Excerpt from A Monograph of Diseases of the Nose and Throat It has been the author's aim in the succeeding pages to present in concise form a Monograph on the Diseases of the Nose and Throat especially adapted to the needs of the student and the general practitioner. The book is the outcome of an experience in the general practice of medicine which was not small, supplemented by several years of exclusively nose, throat and ear work. During the last five years I have been in almost daily contact with students, in the capacity of teacher, and have especially felt the need of a condensed work on the subject dealt with. Few general practitioners have either the time or the inclination to wade through a volume on rhinology and laryngology which deals with exhaustive details, though a working knowledge of the diseases of the nose and throat is absolutely essential to the successful physician. I have, therefore, kept constantly in mind these two classes of readers. Only enough anatomy and physiology is given to enable the reader to comprehend the text.
