Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abdominal Pain Its Causes and Clinical Significance
Let me add that possibly the weakest part of my effort, and yet the very part that I had, at first, hoped to render the most complete, is that which deals with the regional manifestation of pain and the tabulation of its probable causes. It soon became clear to me, that it was practically impossible for one, whose domain of labour lay so largely in the department of general surgery, to exhaustively collect or efficiently describe the very varied charac ters of pain presented by the many diseases that rarely, and often never, came under his observation. Omissions, therefore, I know there must be. But if the whole circumstances Of the case are properly borne in mind, the diagnostician will make all due allowance, and not pin his undivided faith to a belief that would make human nature a thing Of human construction, capable of finite dissection and exhaustive treatment.
