Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Surgical Diagnosis: Designed as a Manual for Practitioners and Students I have endeavored to make, in most instances, selections for con trast Of such diseases as are most liable to be confounded, and, for perspicuity, have been forced to frequently duplicate the symptoms Of many Of them. In this volume all questions of etiology, pathology and treatment have been purposely omitted, as they have no direct bearing upon diagnosis, and therefore do not properly appertain to it. Each differentiation is, in most instances, so arranged as to allow the symptoms Of each to be reviewed separately by reading from above, downwards; while by reading across the page the points Of contrast become prominent. The Common Symptoms written below each differentiation explain, in general, the possible causes Of error in diagnosis. At the close of this volume will be found enumerated under the head of bibliography those authors to whom I am indebted for many statements advanced and from whom occasional extracts have been given. I have adopted this method of acknowledgment since the arrangement of disease in a tabulated form precludes the frequent interpolation Of authorities. Confusion would thus Often result un less explanatory paragraphs were also inserted and the Object Of marked contrast in symptoms would be thus thwarted.
