Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dissertation on the Diseases of the Maxillary Sinus
In young and middle aged subjects of good constitutions, a morbid action may exist in the antrum for years without giving rise to any very alarming symptoms, While the same species of affection in another less healthy constituted, would rapidly extend itself and degenerate into so malignant a form of disease as to threaten the speedy destruction of the life of the patient. Medical history abounds with examples of this kind, and they conclusively establish, that the state of the general health and habit of body, whatever may have been the primitive characteristics of the malady, ultimately determine its malignancy, and that in the treatment of affections of this cavity, as well as other local dis eases of the body, these should not be overlooked.
