A specialized nineteenth-century text that analyzes in depth the pathologies and complications affecting the middle ear (such as otitis media) that manifest following febrile exanthematic illnesses, i.e., infectious diseases characterized by skin eruptions (for example scarlet fever or measles).

Marbled flyleaves, ex libris applied to the first. Two beautiful plates out of text on thick paper that depict various instruments of otorhinolaryngology. Pages slightly yellowed but overall a complete, usable copy and in very good condition of preservation.
