Sinopsis

Excerpt from Laboratory Methods: With Special Reference to the Needs of the General Practitioner

It is the aim of the authors to keep this little volume true to name and purpose. This cannot be realized if extensive alterations are made in each edition. The simple methods suggested have been used for many years and have proven a right to a permanent place. We are not justified in substituting newer methods until they prove themselves superior to the older ones.

Some procedures have been added to the text, but we have pre ferred to place the majority of these in the appendix rather than disturb the simplicity of the text. Among the chief of these are Elastic Tissue Staining, salting-out Method for Tubercle Bacilli, A Simple Gram Stain, An Invariable Blood Stain, A Dressing for Laboratory Tables, and a number of other notes.

Since making the second revision, a thousand and one laboratory innovations have appeared in literature. Many have been tried out and abandoned, others must be tested more thoroughly before being included in texts, still others are too difficult to find a place in a book designed for the practitioner and a great many are not worth trying out.

Excerpt from Laboratory Methods: With Special Reference to the Needs of the General Practitioner

A realization of the fact that the general practitioner is not usually prepared to make, on account of lack of extensive apparatus and other conveniences, elaborate chemical tests and examinations, has prompted the author to prepare this book "Laboratory Methods" is not of an encyclopedic form, nor is it a limited compend, and is especially designed for the general practitioner who desires to make, easily and inexpensively, examinations on which he may depend.

The physician may have experienced some discouragement in attempts to conduct certain examinations, but he has probably been confused by the complexity of the large book and thwarted by the paucity of the compend. It is not presumed that the practitioner shall attempt every investigation, but this book will show that many of the comparatively simple cases that are usually sent to distant cities for expert examination may be made with more satisfactory results by the practitioner.

It has been the aim of the authors to simplify methods both as to apparatus and technic. Essential factors have not, however, been omitted, but have been emphasized in such manner as to indicate their importance. Only the best tests are given, so that the reader will not be perplexed by being obliged to do any choosing for specific cases. Stress has been laid on safe diagnosis, and sources of error, as well as the value and limitation of tests, have been pointed out.
