Book Description

'A Manual of Clinical Diagnosis' by James Campbell Todd is a concise guide to laboratory methods with clinical value and a brief guide to interpretation of results for students and practitioners. This book offers practical methods that require the least complicated apparatus and the least expenditure of time, with simplicity being more essential than absolute accuracy. It covers various bodily fluids, such as sputum, urine, blood, stomach contents, feces, and more, with illustrations provided for better understanding. The author believes it better to learn one method well than to learn several only partially, and offers the choice of several methods to the same end in many places.
