Excerpt from Functional Diagnosis: The Application of Physiology to Diagnosis Two considerations have led to the compilation of this work. 1. The author's experience as a teacher of physiology to first and second year students, and of neurology to third and fourth year men, has forced upon him the conclusion that, no matter how thoroughly the former subject may be instilled into the student during the early years of his course, or how intelligently received by him, the teacher of diagnosis in the latter years is always obliged to retrace a great deal of the ground in order to elucidate the relations betewen the normal and the abnormal, and above all, the working value of symptoms in interpreting functional perversion. The accomplishment of this retracement with the maximum directness and economy, it seemed to the writer, would be greatly facilitated by the use of a text book which should set forth these relations in a sequential and systematic form - a thing which no text book on diagnosis has thus far attempted Or possibly a yet more excellent way would be to use this book in teaching freshmen and sophomores physiology, so that by the time they were ready to take up diagnosis they would already have a basic understanding of the sequential relations between normal and deranged function, as manifested in the symptoms of various diseases.
