![PREFACE. The following pages have been written under the impression that the attention of the profession has never been sufficiently directed to the subject of morbid conditions of the throat, as mainly contri¬ buting to many of the evils of life, as well as inter¬ fering with the development of health and strength, and even retarding the growth of young persons, to a degree scarcely credible. The chief points insisted on in the book are: ]. The extreme prevalence of tonsillary enlarge¬ ments and other morbid conditions of the throat in this country. 2. The variety of evils these morbid conditions produce, and the important functions they embarrass or seriously injure. 3. The facility, safety, and almost painlessness with which enlarged tonsils may be removed, a subject upon which much doubt and difference of opinion have prevailed.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29298027_0009.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
