In this issue, Dr. Fred Heise, chief resident physician of the Trudeau Sanitarium in the Adirondacks, discusses the “Value of History in the Dilagncsis of Pul- monary Tuberculosis.” He insists upon the importance of knowing the back- ground of each case under considera- tion although admitting that it is only suggestive in making a diagnosis. ‘The other communication is a paper by Dr. Lawrason Brown, tuberculosis expert of Saranac Lake, N. Y., dealing with the *“Diagnosis,k of Pulmonary ‘Tuberculosis for the General Practi- tioner,” Dr. Brown asserts that local- izing symptoms outweigh the general or constitutional symptoms and says that the presence of tubercle bacilli in the sputum is as important in diagnosis today as it was 46 years ago.
