    PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. This little work has rapidly run through its first edition, and has been favor- ably received by the profession and students in medicine. In the preface of the first edition, published less than a year ago, I then wrote : In compiling this Manual of Medical Diagnosis I am fully aware of the uncertainty of the so-called characteristic symptoms of a disease. I have therefore endeavored in the following pages to contrast the symp- toms of the diseases that are most liable to be confounded one with another, and have chosen for such symptoms those that will most readily call forth a differential diagnosis. Although not relying upon any one symptom as diagnostic, I have limited myself to those that afford the most striking contrast, and thus have avoided any unnecessary multiplication of the pages that are intended only to serve as a text-book. In this new edition some few corrections are made, and a chapter on the differential diagnosis of coma added, which will, I trust, further increase the merits of the book and make it still more worthy of the approval of the pro- fession. 150 West 530 St., New York, May, 1887.
