Excerpt from Diseases of the Nose The literature upon diseases of the nose is of recent origin by far the greater part has been the outgrowth of investigations and labors, in this special branch, made during the past twelve or fourteen years. The introduction of the present methods of examining has enabled us to recognize, account for, and properly treat, pathological conditions, the existence of which, in the pre-rhinoscopic era, would not have been suspected. I might instance the presence of small gelatinous polypi, producing severe paroxysms of sneezing, or attacks of asthma; of adenomata at the vault of the pharynx, causing deafness and interfering with nasal respiration of the sensitive area of Mackenzie, of Baltimore, giving rise to obstinate and persistent cough and the causes of certain forms of epistaxis, as described by Little and Lefferts. Modern rhinoscopy has made nasal surgery comparatively easy for the operator; unlike laryngoscopy, it has originated no operation requiring that high order of skill which only the trained eye and hand possess, for the removal, per eias naturales, of foreign 'bodies lodged in the larynx. Any one competent to make examinations properly by the present known methods, who has a fair knowledge of the anatomy of the parts, requires no special skill or training for performing the Operations on the nose daily undertaken by specialists.
