DISEASES OF THE EAR.

A TEXT-BOOK

OF THE

Preface

This translation of Professor Politzer’s Lehrbuch der Ohrenheilkunde contains all the matter of that book, which was published in two volumes at Stuttgart (1878-82). It forms one volume complete in itself, and treats of the whole science of Otology in the fullest and most exhaustive manner.

I need not say that I value very highly the confidence Professor Politzer placed in me in requesting me to be his English translator. On that account it has been my endeavour to translate and edit his work to the best of my ability, in the hope that I would merit the distinguished author’s approval, and also that of my medical brethren.

I beg to thank my friend Dr. Swanzy for the great interest he has taken in the preparation of this work.
