OF PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE THORAX. BY ARTHUR M. CORWIN, A. M., M. D., INSTRUCTOR OF PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS IN RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE; AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST. THIRD EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED. PHILADELPHIA : W. B. SAUNDERS, 925 WALNUT STREET. M COPYRIGHT, 1899, BY W. B. SAUNDERS. ELECTROTYPED BY PRESS OF W, B. SAUNDERS, PHILADA. 4941 083 1899 PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. IN revising the text of the preceding edition and making required additions the effort has been, with a few exceptions where amplification seemed necessary, to adhere to the original plan of the work as a systematic outline, at once suggestive as to method and convenient as a condensed statement of essentials. A. M. C. 112465 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. THE first edition of this book, published under the title "Outline of Physical Diagnosis of the Thorax," was chiefly intended to meet the immediate wants of my classes. From its rapid distribution it has seemed to have reached a wider field. The present edition under the new title, as published by Mr. Saunders, is a revision of the original text, with an added section setting forth the signs found in each disease of the chest. In the preparation of this synopsis I have availed myself of the works of the best writers upon Diagnosis, General Medicine, Physiology, and Anatomy, from which I have endeavored to cull the essentials of the subject in hand. To Drs. Wm. R. Parkes and John Edwin Rhodes I desire to express my thanks for their valued services rendered in the reading of the proof. A. M. C. Γ |
