Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook of Physical Diagnosis: Of Diseases of the Organs of Respiration and Heart, and of Aortic Aneurism
IN compliance with the requests of students this volume is now placed before the medical profession. In it I have endeavored to treat the important subject of Physical Diagnosis from a logical standpoint, - the deductions in each case being drawn chie?y from per sonal observation. By this means I have, in many in stances, furnished the all-important missing links that necessarily occur in a mere printed list of physical signs, however ingeniously arranged. The student is thus saved much valuable time that would otherwise be lost in attempting to supply those links unaided. Besides a consideration of the physiology and normal anatomy of the organs involved, brief mention of eti ologyr and pathology has been found necessary in many cases, as well as the proper classification of disease.
