Book Description

Excerpt from A Manual Clinical Diagnosis: By Means of Microscopical and Chemical Methods, for Students, Hospital Physicians, and Practitioners The demand for a new edition has been construed by the author not only as an expression Of professional favor, but also and more particularly as still another opportunity of keeping the book abreast of a most active and important branch of medicine. Exact methods of diagnosis are of comparatively recent development, and as they necessarily underlie successful therapeusis, they should be a part of the equipment Of every physician. They are not recondite or abstruse, but on the contrary are susceptible of plain statement and direct application. Such has been the Object of this work from its inception, namely, to simplify the physician's work and to increase its efficiency by enabling him to eliminate doubt from his diagnosis. The book has been adapted to the needs of students as well as of graduates, in view of the fact that the subject is already included in the curricula of many colleges, and is destined to be required in all. The author's endeavor has been to state the best methods clearly and simply, with all necessary instructions, and to render the book as modern and practical as possible.
