Diseases of the Nose, Throat, and Ear An Their Accessory Cavities (Classic Reprint)
(The second edition of this work, and the several reprints...)
The second edition of this work, and the several reprints of it, were sold in so short a time after their publication that a revision seemed uncalled for; but the increasing literature and the introduction of new remedies, methods of treatment, and improved instruments and apparatus render the time ripe for recasting much matter and introducing the new. A nother chapter and many new articles and illustrations have been added, and wherever our present knowledge appeared to justify the omission of material to make room for more important matter it has been done. Several chapters have been condensed, and a number of subjects have been wholly or partly rewritten, amplified, and illustrated. Eecent discoveries and many helpful quotations and references to current literature have been added. I ndeed, no effort has been spared to make this edition thoroughly representative of the most advanced work to the time of publication. Since by far the larger part of this volume is devoted to the nose and throat, it has been deemed advisable to indicate that fact by the present change in the title, according to which the division on the ear is placed last. More especially was this desirable in order that this book might not be confused with the writers more complete work on The Ear and its Diseases. American readers are so impatient of prolixity that the writer has not hesitated to sacrifice the euphony of diction to the utility of concise information. Especial care has been taken to represent the latest and most valuable work of A mericans, as well as of foreign writers, for our own countrymen are too often overlooked, and their conscientious and meritorious labor meets with too little encouragement at home as well as abroad. Within the limited compass of this book the writer has endeavored to recognize merit wherever it was found to be just toward all and generous toward h (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Seth Scott Bishop
Edit ProfileEducation
Seth obtained his early education at the Pooler Institute of his native town. He attended Beloit Academy (1872 - 1873) and passed two academic years at Beloit College (1873 - 1875), but was forced to leave college "on account of his eyes" and did not obtain an academic degree. Despite his eyes he evidently made rapid progress in medical work, for he obtained his M. D. from Northwestern University in 1876. He also studied medicine for a short time at New York University, and supported himself during his early years of practise by learning the printer's trade.
Career
Though at first a general practitioner, Bishop later limited his work to the diseases of the ear, nose, and throat. He was later appointed to the chair of otology, rhinology, and laryngology at Loyola University School of Medicine, and he held a similar position at the Chicago Post-Graduate Medical School. He became surgeon to the Jefferson Park Hospital, the Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, and consulting surgeon to several other religious institutions.
From 1912 until his death, Bishop was a member of the board of contributing editors of the New York Medical Times. He was also an early editor of the Illinois Medical Bulletin, which ran from 1902 to 1908.
Achievements
-
Seth Bishop's chief contributions to medicine were his two well-illustrated textbooks, Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat and Their Accessory Cavities; a Condensed Textbook (1897), and The Ear and Its Diseases, a Textbook for Students and Physicians (1906). Both these books were based upon the case records of an active practise extending over twenty-five years. In 1887 Bishop was awarded first prize by the United States Hayfever Association for an essay upon the etiology and treatment of hayfever.
