The author presents a well written textbook. He has drawn his material from the works of outstanding otolaryngologists. There is a complete general and author index.
Nearly every phase of the conservative treatment of the inflammations and infections, specific and nonspecific, of the external nose, the sinuses, the pharynx, the larynx, the external ear, the middle ear and the eustachian tubes is thoroughly considered, and the text matter is implemented with figures and diagrams.
Whenever controversial opinions arise, the author has wisely presented every side of the discussion, so that each reader can judge for himself which practice he believes is best in any given case.
Among the fine discussions that have appealed to the reviewer are the following: "Nutritional Management" (13 pages), "Office Surgery" (14 pages), "Nasal Allergy" (17 pages), "Disease of the Eustachian Tubes" (19 pages) and "Otosclerosis" (7 pages).
