Excerpt from Atlas of Methods of Clinical Investigation: With an Epitome of Clinical Diagnosis and of Special Pathology and Treatment of Internal Diseases This Atlas of the methods of clinical investigation contains a selection of the most important clinical condi tions a knowledge of which the recent practitioner may acquire more readily and retain more permanently through good illustrations than through the most elaborate description. The various methods of investigation have been deline ated as uniformly as possible. The illustrations of Part I are all from original preparations 1 those of Part II are derived mostly from patients under immediate observa tion. For the text of the Epitome, supplementary to the plates, the principle seemed sufficient that a portion of our diagnostic knowledge could with advantage be drawn from a concisely arranged compendium; never, however, therapeutic modes of procedure; for the latter the more elaborate text-book will be required.
