Excerpt from Diseases of the Mouth, Throat, and Nose: Including Rhinoscopy and Methods of Local Treatment
So rapidly has our knowledge of Oral and Pharyngeal Diseases, and particularly of Diseases of the Nose, - the significance of which, however, has not as yet been sufficiently appreciated, - extended of late, that it is now impossible, either for the practitioner or the student, to avoid bestowing on them a measure of attention. There are certainly many good works and writings on these subjects already, but most of them seem to be either too voluminous or too short. I have therefore very gladly complied with the request of the publishers to write a short but exhaustive treatise on the subjects, all the more because, having worked for twelve years at the literature as well as the practice of these diseases, I have now come to know exactly what the practitioner requires. The arrangement may appear unusual to some, but 1 think it is as good as any other. Throughout the work great stress has been laid upon the objective condition. "Phis has appeared to me absolutely necessary, on account of the great number of diseases which have similar symptoms; in fact, in diseases of the Mouth, Pharynx, Larynx, and Nose, one is almost compelled to base the diagnosis on the objective symptoms alone. The more detailed discussion in some chapters is explained by the frequency and importance of the affection described. Whoever inclines to think the treatment described in too special a manner, should bear in mind that no simpler, and at the same time efficient, method is possible. The reader will find the services of others suitably acknowledged, but at the same time will not miss the independent experience and criticism of the author.
