Synopsis

Excerpt from Observation in Medicine, or the Art of Case-Taking: Including a Special Description of the Most Common Thoracic Diseases, and Abnormal States of the Blood and Urine

I have thought it advisable to introduce diagrams in the chapter on Diseases of the Heart,' as the subject of murmurs seems to puzzle many students. It must however be remembered that they are purely diagram matic, and only devised for the purposes of teaching. Drawings of the microscopic appearance of some of the deposits in urine have also been introduced, and these have been mostly sketched from actual specimens of my own. One of the forms of phosphates - the envelope one - is, I fancy, rare, for I have only met with it once in my researches. As I have been for the most part throughout these pages my own draughts man, I must beg my reader's indulgence for any errors he may detect in the illustrations. They have been admirably engraved by Mr. Joyce, of Bolt Court. I cannot but fear that in compiling these remarks some important points have been here and there omitted and I must hence beg my reader to overlook any such errors which he may detect in the following pages.
