Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sphygmograph: Its History and Use as an Aid to Diagnosis in Ordinary Practice
The study of the pulse by means of graphic representations of the arterial movements has received a new impulse by the invention of a sphygmograph adapted for daily use in ordi nary medical practice. I have frequently been asked to give some information for beginners on the subject of pulse-writing, and especially some fuller instruction on the use of the in strument I introduced to the notice of the medical profession some eighteen months ago, than are to be found in the printed directions given with the instrument.
