The Larynx and Its Diseases

Abstract

A book of this type on the clinical aspects of diseases of the larynx has long been needed. In spite of the authors' implied apology for the literary structure, it is simply written and easily read; the only obvious criticism of this aspect is the unnecessarily frequent use of "very." Following the discussion of the anatomy and physiology of the larynx and general considerations of laryngeal disease and anomalies there are excellent discussions of injuries, inflammations and tumors, helpfully divided into chapters, to which access is easily had through the table of contents or the adequate index. The illustrations, largely from the authors' own experience, are excellent and add immeasurably to the volume. This book would seem to be invaluable to any one who might wish to approach the larynx from either a diagnostic or a manipulative angle.
