Abstract
THE work under notice is written mainly from the point of view of the physiologist or medical specialist. It covers a very wide field, and in consequence some portions receive only a slight treatment. The subject-matter of the book falls into twelve chapters, their topics being as follows: auditive acuteness; normal ears; auditive re-education, acoustical and clinical: deafness of various kinds; deaf mutes; auditive acuteness after cerebro-spinal meningitis; deafness through the War (this chapter is specially full with some guidance as to treatment recommended); buzzings in the ear; hearing horns; protection from loud sounds; telephonic audition; location of sub marines and the threshold of audition. The thirteenth chapter is a bibliography of the author's works (more than eighty in number) from 1887 to 1923. The work has a number of tables, illustrations of apparatus, and graphs of vibrations.
