Excerpt from Clinical Diagnosis: A Text-Book of Clinical Microscopy and Clinical Chemistry for Medical Students, Laboratory Workers, and Practitioners of Medicine Ten years have passed since the last edition of this book appeared and seven years since its last copy disappeared from the market, periods of time which in personal history may seem short, since crowded by so many momentous events, but in the history of. A text-book is only too long, since this clinical diagnosis now must present itself as entirely new and win whatever success it may, assisted little by the popularity it formerly enjoyed. The author desires to express his appreciation to the many friends who gave the previous editions such cordial reception and invites them now to examine critically this. As regards its contents this certainly is a new work. So much new material has appeared during the past ten years that a complete rewriting of the entire volume has been necessary and several new sections have been added, among them, those on serology, bacteriology, chemistry of the blood and of the spinal fluid. In presenting this edition to the inspection Of the reader, the author takes the liberty to outline the general plan he has followed in its prepara tion and to state the ideals which have influenced him. As in the case of the previous editions this book is not merely a manual for laboratory workers but is intended especially for medical students and for those practitioners of Internal Medicine whose conscience urges them to do their own laboratory work or at least personally to supervise and to interpret all the laboratory examinations made for each of their cases. The author feels that the present separation of laboratory and ward is an evil which cannot be too strongly condemned. NO matter how successful a man may be he has no right to entrust his laboratory work entirely to others. Labora tory assistants Who can do the mechanical work and the cooperation of specialists in the medical science are necessary to the clinician but the conscientious man must regard the laboratory examinations as part of the general personal examination and must hold himself personally responsible for them all. The one who takes the history of the patient and makes the physical examination is the only one who can interpret correctly a labora tory finding. Exactly identical reports may have quite different meanings in two different cases. He alone who knows the patient can interpret and evaluate a specimen under a microscope or in a test-tube and he often sees there that for the record of which no dotted line is provided on a laboratory blank but which will suggest further questions for the history and further physical examinations which may be of great value. The rather wide spread and blind confidence which the past generation has placed in impersonal' laboratory reports has brought Internal Medicine into a certain degree of disrepute.
