Abstract
THIS little book, which is introduced by forewords from Sir James Purves-Stewart and an anonymous professor of the faculty of medicine in an English university, consists of six chapters. In the first, in which a short account is given of the varieties of deafness, the author points out that deafness is very rarely the result of a direct infection of the central organ of hearing but is nearly always the secondary result of generalized infections, such as measles, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, rheumatism and some forms of catarrh of the nose and throat.
