Loss of substance of some portion of the larynx. LAMP FOE THE LARYNGOSCOPE. In examining the larynx with a laryngoscope a good light isneeded. The one which I prefer is represented in the accompany-ing cut. It is called the Saint Germain, or German Study or OfficeLamp. When used for the purpose of examining the larynx, theporcelain shade is removed. Tobolds lenses are placed around thechimney, and the light is reflected by the reflector against the smallmirror in the back part of the throat. (See Laryngoscope^). LAiTP FOR THE LARNYGOSCOPE. A X is the holder that contains the kerosene oil. C is the cylinder on which the circular wick is placed. F is the chimney-holder. This lamp gives a mild, steady light, and for those who haveweak eyes is far preferable to the wretched lamps that are too fre-quently used. It is much pleasanter for the eyes than gas-light. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL DISEASES, Loss of voice, hoarseness, expectoration, pain, difficulty ofbreathing, cough and general debility—these are some of the gen-eral symptoms that accompany many of these diseases of the laryngoscope helps us to determine just what the disease is thatcauses these symptoms. It has therefore completely changed thetreatment of laryngeal diseases. Quite a number of errors prevail in regard to the diseases ofthe throat. 1.
