Excerpt from Ophthalmic and Otic ContributionsLest I might be misunderstood as supposing that diseases of the internal ear of syphilitic origin, were more common than those of the middle ear from the venereal disease, when incorporating this paper into the last edition of my work on the ear, it was stated that it should not be forgotten that syphilitic affections of the middle ear are perhaps more common than those of the labyrinth. This point is made early in the discussion in order that the state ment made in the beginning of one of the papers I am about to review may be met in advance. This statement is, the prevail ing opinion has been that the seat of the lesion is usually in the labyrinth. I do not think that the prevailing opinion of our day has been, that the seat of the lesion of the ear in syphilis is usually in the labyrinth, but rather that it is sometimes, perhaps often, found there, and in the cases of sudden deafness almost always.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
