Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cure of Crooked and Otherwise Deformed Noses
There are many instances of nasal deformity which are a great trial to those who have to bear the disfigurement through life, and whose correction would add much to the popular appreciation of surgery and at the same time be a source of revenue to the operator whose skill succeeded in relieving the unsightly condition. Many of these defects are mere blemishes upon the face of the subject rather than matters of very great importance. There may be little or no obstruction to breathing and very little deformity to the eye of the observer, but the disfigurement causes such a mental effect on the patient as may even lead to a change in his disposition. If, therefore, we can relieve these minor disfigurements, and thereby relieve the worry and anxiety of the patient, we do something which is entirely justifiable.
