    ON PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS. I. OF DIAGNOSIS IN GENERAL. i. The Diagnosis of diseases constitutes the foundation of the Practice of Medicine, both with respect to immediate Prescription and to the advancement of Therapeutics in ge- neral. Accuracy in Diagnosis is essential to the safe and success- ful treatment of diseases, because this can only be ensured by judiciously adapting the remedies to each individual case, and by cautiously avoiding those erroneous and dangerous modes of practice, to which a faulty Diagnosis must necessa- rily give origin. Baglivi expresses a similar sentiment respecting the importance of this point in the practice of medicine. Pri- ma basis curandorum morborum, est recta eorundem cogni- tio,atque debitum unius ab alio discrimen ; latent cnim yelut in alta nocte prima morborum stamina, nec arte magistra in curationem eorundem perveniemus, nisi facem prasfcrat soli- da Diagnosis.
