    PREFACE. Vll the profession, the author has had the beautiful model of Dr. Auzoux lithographed by Messrs. Sinclair, in order to fit the work for a text-book; and for the benefit of those whose active employment in general practice renders it difficult for them to obtain a more complete knowledge of the subject, he has added a resume of the simplest and most effectual methods of treating aural catarrh and other more frequent and curable affections, which, without proper attention, are liable to terminate in deafness. It has been the author's endeavor to represent all the more important instruments and apparatus employed in aural sur- gery, in which he has been kindly assisted by our chief surgical instrument-makers, Messrs. Kolbe and Gemrig, of this city, and several professional friends, who have placed numerous illustrations at his command. In composition and in illustration, he has availed himself of the works of Wilde, Toynbee, Troltsch, Moos, Politzer, Weber, Hinton, Triquet, Voltolini, Kramer, Gruber, Knapp, Schwarze, Green, Roosa, Clark, and others, as well as of the American and foreign medical periodicals having any bearing on the subject. The author gratefully acknowledges his obligations to his friends, Prof. James A. Meigs, Drs. J. Solis Cohen, James Collins, and Charles F. Wittig, for valuable assistance in the preparation of his work for the press. L. T. 1208 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, October, 1871.
