Excerpt from The Physiological Factor in Diagnosis: A Work for Young Practitioners This work is designed for young practitioners of medicine entering upon private practice. The medical student is apt to believe that medical education interests only those studying medicine and those engaged in medical tuition; and that nothing worth the having can come from others than those who are attached to medical schools. This impression may survive the medical curriculum; but time and experience dim its outlines. In the belief that the present work supplies something that may be of value in practice, the writer lays it before the young practitioner, for his verdict; not without some hope, however, that he may find it useful.
