A treatise on the physiology and pathology of the ear...

This is the sixth edition of Curtis's Treatise on the physiology and diseases of the ear. In his bibliography to the Pappas Otolaryngology Collection, Dr. Pappas notes, "Considering the fact that it contained almost no physiology and uninformative pathology, but chiefly descriptions of patients with ear diseases, it is difficult to conceive that it had reached a sixth edition by 1836. Politzer’s explanation was that Curtis fulfilled the desire for information of patients undergoing otological therapy (Politzer, History of Otology, p. 274), since the period of time from 1800 to 1850 in England was void of otologic physicians and original contributions" (p. 16).
