Excerpt from The Pulse
This little book is, for the most part, a reproduction of the Croonian Lectures on the Pulse delivered before the College of Physicians in 1887, with some amplifications and additions - with the addition, in particular, of a chapter on the Sounds of the Heart, which must always be taken into consideration if the full significance of variations in the character of the pulse is to be estimated.
More, probably, will be expected than is here found with regard to the pulse and its indications in different forms and at various stages of acute disease. But such indications cannot be laid down in words with the precision which would be required to make them useful. The aid furnished in the following pages towards an appreciation of the variations of the pulse in the course of acute disease will consist in directing separate attention to other points than mere frequency and force - the size of the artery and the character and duration of the individual beats and intervals by which the experience and observation, which are absolutely essential, will be guided and rendered more fruitful.
