Excerpt from Physical Diagnosis
In the preparation of this volume the author has had in mind the medical student and the busy practitioner, and it has been his purpose to incorporate in a brief work the principles of physical diagnosis, together with the physical findings in the commoner diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems. In this connection anatomy and pathology hare been considered from the clinical standpoint, emphasis being laid upon these subjects as they influence the physical manifestations of disease of the thorax and abdomen.
In addition to the physical examination of the thoracic and abdominal viscera, it has seemed proper and practical to include in the work the principal diagnostic signs referable to the head, neck, and limbs, together with a minimum examination of the nervous system.
The work has been profusely illustrated, in the belief that free illustration is the nearest approach to personal contact in the teaching clinic.
The author wishes to express his appreciation to Dr. C. E. Shinkle, whose diagnostic table on the Barany Tests is reproduced in the volume, for valuable assistance in preparing the section dealing with these tests. Many illustrations have been taken from other books, all of which have been credited in the text. He also wishes to thank Mrs. T. W. Marks for assistance rendered in the preparation of original drawings for the text; and the publishers for many courtesies during the preparation and publication of the volume.
