Preface

To facilitate the acquisition of a well assorted knowledge of diseases of the Eye, Ear, Throat, and Nose we have endeavored to condense into this volume in the most complete and concise manner possible the essentials of these specialties. To the student such brief volumes have a double usefulness, not only presenting the facts, but saving his attention to lectures from interruption , by note-taking. It is also hoped that the volume will serve to refresh the memory of the busy practitioner, as it is in reality a trustworthy digest of the best and latest works on these specialties. Through the kind permission of Dr. George M. Lefferts, Clinical Professor of the Diseases of the Throat and Nose in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, we are able to place before our readers some of his admirably arranged charts for the study of nose and throat diseases. The credit for most of this work is due to my friends and co-workers, Drs. J. P. McEvoy and J. E. Weeks. The basis of the division on Diseases of the Eye is a course of lectures delivered by Dr. Weeks at the Belle vue Hospital Medical College of New York.
