From the English Third Edition. "The present volume deals with a department of disease subsidiary to that which is usually considered the special domain of the aural surgeon. It has for its subject the catarrhal lesions of the naso-pharynx, of which ear disease and deafness are secondary and later issues. These antecedent conditions, in many instances, persist along with their contributory defects in the organs of hearing; and it is matter of experience that, when this is the case, treatment directed simply to alleviate the ear mischief will result in disappointment." - Preface to the Third Edition. Interesting, specialized work by the distinguished 19th-century English ENT surgeon Edward Woakes. ; Ex-Library; Woodcuts; 224, 1ad, 12ad pages.
