Author Description

Excerpt from Atlas and Abstract of the Diseases of the Larynx IN the preparation of this little Atlas of the Diseases of the Larynx the author has adopted the same plan as that pursued in his earlier Atlas of the Diseases of the Nose and Throat. Its object is to help the beginner in the art of observing and interpreting. As, however, a knowledge of the previous history of the disease and the examination of contiguous, as well as of more distant organs are indispensable for diagnosis, especially in this region, each picture is accompanied by the necessary data in the form of a short history. By adopting this method the author believes he has also presented a valuable aid to the physician who has few opportunities of seeing diseases of the larynx and yet wishes to be able to recognize them. At the same time a clearer mental image is obtained which may com pensate for possible imperfections in the actual picture.
