Page v - ... every point necessary for a delicate physical diagnosis. If the case be at all obscure, they feel the necessity of consulting some authority. In such emergencies, the busy doctor may appreciate such a time and labor saving contrivance as the present. It often needs only a word here and there to revive memories of extensive reading.
