    The following arrangement, to insure uniformity in drawing up medical reports, embodies a “ Method of Case-Taking,” which has been recommended by Clinical Teacheis of long experience, and of late ably advocated by Professor Sanders, of Edinburgh. Patients should always have been in bed at least an hour before being examined; and if they are exhausted^ in pain, or delirious, &c., they must be spared any unnecessary inquiries. A. WOOD SMITH. Glasgow, November, 1876.
