Symptoms and Their Interpretation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Symptoms and Their Interpretation When, a dozen years ago, I wrote the first edition of this book, I dimly perceived that there was a field of medical knowledge essential to progress which was left almost unexplored. It might seem absurd to say that the field of symptomatology was in this state, for has not the study of symptoms been prosecuted since the dawn of medicine? Nevertheless, the more I have gone into this subject the more evident has it become that symptoms have not been properly investigated, and even the methods by which the investigation should be pursued have not yet been understood.
