Excerpt from Diseases of the Ear: Illustrated by Clinical Observations The methods of observation of diseases of the ear, as well as the optical, acoustic, and other instruments employed in their diagnosis, have been very much improved within the last ten years. Such improvements are of great practical importance; this branch of the healing art having been long retarded, or kept in its primary, or empirical state, for want of thatguiding light which can only be supplied by an established and scientific pathology. With the advance of aural pathology, and the improved methods of diagnosis, the rational treatment of diseases of the car has been gra dually developed, while the various nostrums, chiefly of the stimulating kind, which were for merly dropped into the ear for the cure of all kinds of deafness, and this without distinction, are gradually disappearing: this disappearance, however, is slow, for. Ideas that have prevailed for centuries, and which, even for centuries, have been fraught with mischief, are not to be got rid of except by the gradual advance of knowledge, and require, too often, as well, the departure of one or more generations of men, who fondly cling to the remembrance and results of their early impressions, without taking the trouble to see in how many aspects they are erroneous, or in how many applications they do harm.
