    THE TREATMENT OF EAR DISEASES AS ILLUSTRAT ED BY OVER TWO THOUSAND CONSECUTIVE CASES, TREATED AT DR. SEXTON’S AURAL CLINIC, AT THE NEW YORK EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY. This work is intended to present a classified list of the aural cases recently seen in the practice of the infirmary, and to bring into prominence the more practical features demand- ing treatment. The relation in detail of the many cases of interest seen would not, it is believed, be so instructive as the presentation of general conclusions drawn from observations in the large field offered by the aural clinic; a few cases of special importance are, however, thought to be sufficiently in- structive to be given. The importance of inflammation of the attic of the tympanum seemed to demand the considerable space given to its discussion. The cases have been divided according to the anatomical location of the disease, and the whole subject is included under nine sections—namely : A, the auricle; B, the external auditory canal; C, the drumhead; D, the middle ear tract; E, complication of diseases of the middle ear tract; F, diseases of the mastoid process; G, important symptoms of ear disease; H, neuroses (reflex phenomena); I, deaf mutism. In the Appendix the drugs more commonly employed in treatment are given, as well as a description of the instru- ments used. Illustrative cuts of the instruments have been introdnced. A more complete classification of aural diseases than is afforded by the list of cases below will be found at the end of the work.
