Medical Diagnosis
Excerpt from Medical Diagnosis
Medicine is year by year receiving additional help, more especially in diagnosis, from the ancillary sciences. In the ordinary text-books on medicine space does not permit of adequate reference to a number of laboratory methods  whether bacteriological, chemical or physical  side by side with sufficient clinical and pathological detail. Our publishers informed us of their opinion that a book, in which all the clinical information and the more ordinary laboratory details, necessary for the purpose of making a scientific diagnosis in medical cases, were arranged in a concise and accessible form, was constantly sought for both by the student and the practitioner. At their request we have made an attempt in the following pages to meet this demand. We have availed ourselves freely of existing text-books and current medical literature but do not feel that an extensive bibliography would serve any useful purpose in a book of this size and scope.
