ATREATISE on the PHYSIOLOGY and DIS-
EASES of the EAR, accompanied with a Plate of Acoustic
Instruments, descriptive of the French, German, and Spanish
Artificial Ears ; also an Improved /fearing Trumpet.
By J. H. CURTIS, Eut.
Aurist to his Majesty. and Surgeon to the Royal Dispensary for
Diseases of the Ear, &c.
" It is certain that many cases of deafness are susceptible of
relief by judicious treatment. Perhaps the disposition now preys.
lent to seek hir the nose of many local diseases in disoiders of
remote pans of the system, especially in the gastric organs, has
led to the greatest improvement in the treatment of this as well as
in many analogous affections. This indication is well followed by
Ma. Canis in all cases of deafness : excepting those of an organic
' nature, expressly local, his attention is directed to the constitution ;
and many cases of what are vaguely termed nervous deafness,. of
seismal years standing, have been perfectly relived. He has, ape
plied the principles above inculcated in an •wative and judicious
insoner, and the results of his experience appear to have been per.
ticularly favourable."—London 3ledical and Physical Journal.
" Mr. Curtis. whoseperseverance commands oar applause, has
published a Second Edition of Ida Treatise on the Physiology and
Diseases of the Ear. It had been determined that Nunes of the
Ear were it:curable. but 111 r. Curtis has published a Series of
Cases, su4licieot to prove this error, and we congratulate the public
on his success, as no diseases are more afflicting than those of this
important organ."—Monthly Magazine.
This work concludei with a detail of the most successful
methods of treatment, as exemplified in the cans of about silty
penons, who have been either partially or entirely recovered from
that distressing state of distance and seclusion which the Lou of
hearing had occasioned. To those who are suffering under the
painful privation to which s pages refer, we doubt not Sir.
Curtis's work wil/ prove particularly aeceptable.—New Monthly
3lagarine.

" The cases detailed by Sir. Curtis are SR in number, and the
treatment appears to be judicious, simple, and aucceseful."—Me-
dico-Chirurincal Review.
" The profession, we conceive, are indebted to Mr. Curtis for
the persevering spirit with which he cultivates the study of those
dieesses affecting the organ of hearing, which, from their obscurity
and intricacy, can only be properly treated by a person entirely de.
void to the subject."—London Medical and Physical Journal.
