I state these things to you - who do not recollect the time, as I do, when no medical man in this country could, with truth and candor, say more Of his knowledge Of diseases of the chest than Cullen said - that you may the better estimate the exceeding value of the discovery of what is called the method of ausculta tion, for the detection and discrimination Of disease; and most particularly of thoracic disease. In the present day we are able to Obtain more exact information respecting the disorders Of the parts contained within the chest, than Of any other internal and therefore invisible parts Of the body. Indeed, in a vast number Of instances, we can tell, as accurately as if we saw them, the actual condition of the thoracic viscera: can follow, step by step, the successive processes Of disease or of repair, in which they are involved. We can penetrate beyond the symptoms which denote deranged function, and comprehend those much less fallible signs which arise from alterations Of structure. And this vast addition to our pathological knowledge has been given us by the simple application of one Of our five senses to the investigation of disease, the sense Of hearing, which for so many centuries had been (strangely as it now seems) neglected, or but little used. Through the aid and use of the ear it has come to pass that those diseases which, besides being the most common and the most destructive, were also the most obscure. Are now better understood than the diseases Of any other internal part whatever.
