Excerpt from Diseases of the Ear IN the preparation of the present work it has been my aim to adapt it to the needs both of the general practitioner and the special surgeon. For this reason minute pathology has not been considered extensively. In detailing the various manipulative procedures, I have preferred to err on the side of prolixity, for the benefit of those not familiar with the subject. It has also been my purpose to keep constantly before the reader, the fact that many diseases of the ear should not be considered by them selves, for the reason that they are often local manifestations of systemic condition. Many works upon otology have failed to emphasize the importance of a thorough functional examination, and none have placed the results of recent investigations at the disposal of the reader in such a manner as to enable him to use them in diagnosis. In consequence, I have written at length upon this subject. In advocating Operative procedures upon the middle ear and in devoting much space to the subject of middle-ear operations. I am aware that I shall not have the support of many distinguished colleagues. As a careful reading of the chapter will show, I have written from personal experience, and if my results differ from those of other operators, I sug gest that the selection of cases suitable for operation. Accord ing to the principles detailed in previous chapters. May account for the favorable outcome of the Operations.
