RELEVANCE OF THIS BOOK: This is Laennec's classic work which revolutionized the study of diseases of the thoracic organs. His invention of the stethoscope opened up an entirely new field of physical diagnosis of pulmonary diseases -- diagnosis of phthisis, the study of respiratory organs, pneumonia, emphysema, pleurisy and pneumothorax; bronchial sounds; investigation of the circulation, analysis of heart sounds, diseases of the heart and aneurysm of the aorta. Laennec established the fact that all phthisis is tuberculous, described pneumothorax and distinguished pneumonia from the various kinds of bronchitis and from pleuritis COMPARE PRICES: A similar 4th edition, Bruxells, is listed in the internet for $660.
