ATREATISE on the PHYSIOLOGY and DIS-
EASES of the I•'A It, accompanied with a Plate of Acous-
tic Instruments, descriptive of the French, German, and Spanish
Artificial Ears; also an Improved Hearing Trumpet. By J. 11.
CUR IS, Esq. Aurist to his Al.ojesty, anti Surgeon to the Royal
Diveivary for Diseases of the Ear, &c.

It is certain that many cases of deafness are susceptible of re-
lief by judicious treatment. Perhaps the disposition now preva-
lent to seek for the cause of many local diseases in disorders of rc-
mote parts of the system, 4:sin-et-Illy in the gastric organs. has led
to the greatest imptovement in the treatment of this as well as in
r.saity an.ilogousiAlections. This indication is well followed by Mr.
Curtis in all cases of deafness : exc. ping those of an organic nature,
expressly total, his attention is directed to the constitution; and
ita.ny cases ut what are vaguely termed nervous deafness, of several
years' standing, have been perfectly relieved. lie has applied the
principles above inculcated in an active and judicious manner, and
the results of his experience appear to have been particularly fa-
vourable.—Loaidon ledical and Physical Journal.

Mr. Curtis, whose perseverance commands our applause, has
publishes! a Second Edition of his Treatise on the Physiology and
Diseases of the Est.. It had been determined that Diseases of the
Ear were incurable, but blr. Curtis has published a Series of Cases,
sufficient to prove this error, and we congratulate the public on his
success, as 11u dis, ases are more afflicting than those of this impor-
tant organ.— Monthly :Magazine.

This work concludes with a detail of the most successful methods
of Treatment, as exemplified in the cases of about sixty persons,
who have been either partially or entirely recovered from that dia.
treeing state of distance and seclusion which the loss of hearing had
occasioned. To those who are suffering under the painful privation
to which his pages refer, we doubt not Mr. Curties Work will
prove particularly acceptable.—New Monthly Magazine.

" The cases detailed by bit. Curtis are Fifty-eight in number,
and the treatment appears to be judicious, simple, and successful."
bletlico-Chirurgicll Review.

'• The Profession, we conceive, are indebted to Mr. Curtis, for
the persevering spirit with which he cultivates the study cf those
diseases affecting the organ of hearing, which, from their obscurity
and intricacy, can only be properly treated by a person entirely
devoted to the subject."—London Medical and Physical Journal.

the Royal DispensAry for curing Diseases of the Ear, to a Course
on the Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology of that Organ.
4. A NEW and IMPROVED M Al' of the EAR, exhibiting
its hurt nal, intermediate, and ekternal structure, with the bones in
situ, together with the principal nerves and blood-vessels in its im-
mediate vie- ' y ; designed for the use of Medical Students. Price

" 'this Plate, which is 'beautifully coloured, there are nine
Figu►es, eight of which delineate the parts svparatvly, and the
ninth exhibits a general •iew of the Anatomy of the Head in the
vicinity of the Ear. This map Is certainly well calculated to faci-
litate the Student's early acquisition in Aural Anatomy, and to him
we can'recommend it."-Iledico-Chirurgical Review, Jan. 1825.
